Support A very dynamic sports image. One of the best ones I've seen in many ways. The poses pull you in quickly, composition is good, and, since the faces can't be seen, but the image still has a lot of interest, it makes a good universal image for the sport.

Support - Impressive! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:48, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I have to ask.... Is the guy on the right urinating?! There's a stream of what looks like liquid coming from his crotch - too much to be dripping sweat. It's a little off-putting for what would otherwise be an excellent sports photo. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 19:29, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Or is it a seam in the billboard behind him? Sca (talk) 17:05, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, because you can follow it all the way into the sand. I really think we've got some inadvertent bladder control issues in the photo. Should we be featuring something potentially embarrassing like that? Hmm. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 17:44, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. He is not urinating. It's a sewing thread, from his clothes. You can see it easier on File:Lutte sénégalaise Bercy 2013 - Mame Balla-Pape Mor Lô - 31.jpg taken 16 seconds before. Thx for reviewing my picture. Pyb (talk) 20:30, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Phew, thanks for confirming! That makes sense, and it's a good example of why it's better to ask the photographer than to make assumptions. :-) Ðiliff «» (Talk) 22:16, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support, now that the mysterious line between the wrestler's legs has an explanation. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 22:18, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
