•  Comment I note that this image was first uploaded to commons on 6 November 2006 and shown on an English wikipedia article on the same day. I am not sure what the guidelines were at that time; however, the guidelines on the English wikipedia now recommend the use of lower case file extensions - jpg or jpeg for photographs. The en wiki clearly indicates that the file extensions in the lower case (jpg or jpeg) are recommended there, and the en wiki says; "For uniformity, lower case file name extensions are recommended"; see en:Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Image_titles_and_file_names. Further, the first steps guidelines on commons refers to language wikis for formatting guidelines; see Commons:First steps/Upload form#4. Set an appropriate file name. Also see, Commons:First_steps/Quality_and_description#Format_guidance, which says; "For photographs, use JPEG (file extension .jpg or .jpeg)". I think that this image should not be marked down here, because its file extension does not follow recommendations; however, please consider uploading using the lowercase jpg or jpeg and change from uppercase to lowercase if necessary. It is not commons policy to change the file extensions after upload, because of the workload involved. Snowmanradio (talk) 09:28, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Nice composition, good action shot. Steven Walling 18:07, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose severe tilt on horizon (and no, it isn't on a hill slope!) - MPF (talk) 22:20, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose per MPF - I'm not one to usually pay attention to tilts, but this one's pretty steep. ~Kevin Payravi (Talk) 02:12, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
