•  Support - Very good shot. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:27, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Would have been even better in portrait orientation. --Kreuzschnabel 15:11, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

• I disagree ;) --Kadellar (talk) 15:35, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

•  Neutral I've been thinking about this for quite a while now and I hate to oppose such a nicely timed shot, but in the end I find that busy bokeh (especially in the large area filled with spectators) just too disturbing. Sorry, --El Grafo (talk) 19:03, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
  • After a good night's sleep, I think Diliff below is right – opposing for that reason is a bit too much → changed to neutral. --El Grafo (talk) 10:13, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
    • Thanks for your comment. I agree with you about the bokeh. Sometimes it's disturbing and ugly. I use the new Sigma lense 120-300 mm f/2,8 DG OS HSM (sport version). I'll do some tests because I don't see any thread about this subject. Pyb (talk) 16:49, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
    • According to Jastrow, it's caused by air turbulence / hot air. Forumers discuss about that on ausphotography.net.au and fredmiranda.com. Pyb (talk) 17:57, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

•  Support. I agree that the bokeh is a bit weird. it looks a bit like the photo was shot through an obstacle (the bokeh at the top has a wedge-shaped hole in it), but overall this is a minor issue that would be ignored by most publications so I think for a sports action photo, to oppose for this reason is just too much pixel peeping.
