•  Oppose Crop is too tight, let it breathe. Ball is too blurry. --Mile (talk) 11:31, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Cmon, the ball is never in focus in this kind of tennis photography. We're talking about sports photography taken at 350mm focal length and a relatively wide aperture to get a fast shutter speed. You don't get unlimited depth of field. According to a depth of field calculator, there is about 20cm DoF in total. The ball cannot be in focus at the same time as the player unless they're in the middle of hitting it. Framing is perhaps a legitimate point, but I chose it to be tight to get an action portrait. It's not supposed to be a full body photo. I've uploaded a new image with a slightly wider framing anyway. Diliff (talk) 11:49, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Info OK, at least remove watermark. --Mile (talk) 12:18, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
  • What watermark?? Diliff (talk) 12:20, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment I put note. Bottom left. --Mile (talk) 12:26, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
  • OK, thanks. I hadn't noticed it. I accidently set Lightroom to add the watermark, I've uploaded a new version without it now. Diliff (talk) 13:57, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Support due to the facial expression. --Tremonist (talk) 12:21, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Xplvl (talk) 12:22, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry,per Mile--LivioAndronico ^(talk) 12:38, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
  • What do you mean exactly? I explained that the out of focus ball is impossible to fix and is normal for sports photography. And for the tight crop, I already uploaded a new version with more space at the sides. Diliff (talk) 13:59, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

• Sorry,I prefer photo much broader, for this type of shots. Besides, I do not like the expression of the face (not your fault of course)--LivioAndronico ^(talk) 14:01, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

• Fair enough, but I thought the facial expression was part of what makes it an interesting photo. :-) I have literally hundreds of broader shots from Wimbledon this year but it's most of them don't have much character like this photo does. Diliff (talk) 14:16, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

• I love this --LivioAndronico ^(talk) 14:32, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

  • What's wrong with the EXIF? Diliff (talk) 15:31, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
    • The problem disappeared. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 17:19, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
•  Strong support With that look on her face, I don't want to be that ball! A great shot all-around ... if I've compared some of our past nominees to National Geographic images, this is one that goes right along with the great work by Sports Illustrated photographers. Daniel Case (talk) 15:15, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Wow! 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 17:21, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose with Mile, D kuba (talk) 19:03, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
  • As I explained already, the ball being out of focus is completely unavoidable at this focal length (it's a bit like saying the background of a macro photo should be in focus - it's just impossible) and I already uploaded a new crop with more space around her. In other words, both of the reasons that Mile gave were either refuted or corrected. It would be nice if you could elaborate on your oppose reasons taking this into consideration. Diliff (talk) 21:20, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
•  Weak support --Σπάρτακος (talk) 22:27, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
•  Neutral The ball is fine, and the expression makes it special. However I'd like to have to have more space, specially on the right. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:04, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
