Weak oppose good illustration of the subject, but this photo has some blurring that's visible at full size. Pine^talk 05:31, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A very nice action shot with good composition. Some blurring is present when viewed at full size, but due to the sufficient resolution this isn't really an issue. Otto Jula (talk) 15:10, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The only guy in full focus, is the guy in the front, the rest are blurry. The guy in the middle right you cant see if you look at the center of the picture, he blends in too much with his motorbike... Looks like he crashed or something. I don't know, it just doesn't seem like the greatest picture. Dusty777 (talk) 02:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Depth of Field is a function of focal length and f-number. At 185mm and f/5 you cant expect very large depth of field. Since the focus is on the guy in the lead. Naturally the guys behind him will get blurred. --Jovian Eye _storm 18:33, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose You can't see where each of the two guys on the right start and end. You'd get lots of chances to take a photo like this, one with better separation of the subjects should have been chosen. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 19:28, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support I actually love this shot. The closeness of the riders in the image is truely representative of how they actually race. To show them more spread out would actualy fall under misrepresentation. As for DOF, the focus of the image is in focus, thats enough for me, and I'm usually one to jump on images for having too shallow a DOF. JFitch (talk) 01:35, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Aaadddaaammm. Nik thestoned 10:51, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
