Oppose. The photographer really needs to clean his DSLR sensor. It's extremely dirty. As for the image itself, I'm not convinced though. It has some EV in showing the kit of a 'rescue swimmer' but it seems designed to be a bit of a propaganda portrait more than really being that useful for the article. An image showing someone in action would be more useful. If the article was about her as a notable person, it might have more EV, but otherwise it's a bit limited. The lighting is also quite poor (overexposed sky and underexposed black kit) and the WB seems off. It could be because of the light through the clouds, but it seems too pink-tinted for me.

- In case of swimming, however, you wouldn't be able to see the entire suit and swimfins (she would be half-submerged), so I think EV is still here in its own right. As for WB and pink tint, it looks correctable, if this is indeed so. Brandmeister^talk
  - I wasn't saying swimming specifically, they could be preparing to dive or anything that shows some aspect of what they do, rather than posing melodramatically in front of a helicopter. That's what I mean. If it was just a problem the WB tint, I'd offer to correct it myself, but it's more than just that IMO. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:04, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Agree with Diliff from an EV point of view... To illustrate a rescue swimmer, it would be best if he/she could at least be swimming, if not actually rescue swimming. Otherwise this is just a person in a wetsuit... gazhiley 11:21, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Diliff. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:53, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Failing an action shot, I'd like at least to see her feet to check if she has webbed toes or little outboard motors on her heels. Also, is that somebody drowning in the background that she's ignoring? Belle (talk) 00:15, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
