Self nominated at the suggestion of
Christopherlin. The picture is from
Ultimate (sport), and was taken by Scobel Wiggins at the 2006 club ultimate national tournament in sarasota, florida. The picture itself is a great example of an action shot and portrays beautifully a layout.
Oppose, too low-res according to current (consensus?) standards. Also, background is too messy, the main subject does not stand out. --

Comment Could you possibly upload a larger version (at least 1000px, the more detailed the better)? FPs other than those depicting unique historic events should be big enough not just for article inclusion, but to allow quality reproductions in other formats. As it stands, I'm afraid this isn't big enough to be eligible whatever its other merits. Great shot though — for once I disagree with Janke's verdict and I think the DOF does enough for the subject & the people in the background add value :-) ~

Oppose, for now – great pic, but someone needs to contact the photographer for a higher res version as was discussed on
Talk:Ultimate (sport). The DOF adds to the descriptive quality of the picture, plain and simple. If the pic was illustrating the player or the act of bidding, then the background would be distracting, but it isn't. It is illustratign Ultimate, which is characterized by informality and people sitting on the sidelines. In the article, there is enough difference in sharpness to clearly show the foreground wihout distraction. People who think the DOF detracts from the photo need to learn more about the culture of the sport as the on-field action is only half of the picture. (pun intended)—

"The DOF adds to the descriptive quality of the picture, plain and simple." and "People who think the DOF detracts from the photo need to learn more about the culture of the sport"? I know plenty about the culture of ultimate, and I know plenty about sports photography, and I think that the DOF is too deep. You should feel free to disagree, but don't assert some kind of ultimate authority. It sounds petulant. –

Conditional support (can I do that?) once larger image is available. Are the oppose votes basically "too small"? I'd like to know how many of those would be support with a larger image. --

I got "What is your preferred size?" from Scobel. Any suggestions? Do we renominate or restart voting after the bigger one comes in? --
