  • Symbol support vote.svg Support Fine with me.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:58, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose It's not a bad picture by any means, and technically it's fine. I just don't find it that exceptional in terms of difficulty of capture, composition, and rarity - given the photographer probably sees this scene on a weekly basis (get the mangroves in the shot, or get it when he's leaping clear out, etc ...). I would be more likely to support if it were the work of a commoner. --ianaré (talk) 21:13, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Symbol neutral vote.svg Neutral – A professional work should be without errors. --Steindy (talk) 21:54, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Symbol support vote.svg Support - ditto to Mbz1, the noise isn't obvious to me. Wild and located, makes it much more valuable than pics from dolphinariums - MPF (talk) 00:54, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose Valuable but too noisy in water areas. ----Chrumps (talk) 13:52, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Symbol neutral vote.svg Neutral - Agree with MPF that being in its natural habitat is a good thing, but the composition is just awkward. Is it an action shot or a still shot? –Juliancolton | Talk 11:06, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Symbol neutral vote.svg Neutral I think the composition is just fine, but the lighting is a tad too bright for me. Just not quite there, technically. Steven Walling 21:30, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
