•  Support This is ok, but I tend to think stuff like this is better covered in a video clip, where the full movement can be shown. I like the kitten on 0x010C's userpage better... INeverCry 01:36, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose Colin makes good points. The issue I was after is the basic question of what is the person doing? This particular shot doesn't give me much to go on by itself. Is he doing a trick, did he accidentally roll over, etc. INeverCry 08:38, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Support - That's a great action shot, and there are still magazines like Sports Illustrated. Videos are not a substitute for action shots like this, in my opinion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:13, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose It's an action shot, but it's not a great one. The subject is facing away and all I see is a helmet, so one is very detached from the subject. There are better action photos in 0x010C's uploads from the event, though some of the better scenes (File:2015-08 playboating Durance 47.jpg and File:2015-08 playboating Durance 29.jpg aren't framed perfectly). Perhaps File:2015-08 playboating Durance 46.jpg is the best of the bunch. As an example, an existing FP is File:Tony Estanguet.jpg which captures the emotion/effort of the subject and powerful action. -- Colin (talk) 20:27, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment I understand your point of view, but to do such a trick, a wheel, the paddler has to have his head in the middle of a wave, so it's quite impossible to catch both the action and his face. In addition, it's realy the action that I wanted to show, who is the paddler is not important, contrary to the case of Tony Estanguet — 0x010C ^~talk~ 14:05, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
