•  Oppose - noise issues, too busy. --- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 09:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

• If anything I'd say it's been denoised too much. Look at the black areas, completely free of noise. Not sure where you're seeing this noise. --Dori - Talk 16:55, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

•  SupportSnow seems true one--B.navez 09:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Support, less noise than in a certain picture that was featured on the main page a few days ago. --Aqwis 17:07, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Support Good enough. There's hardly any noise; looks more like chromatic aberration to me, but nothing really. RedCoat 15:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I mostly oppose because of the distractions on the left; the people taking pictures etc.... makes the image less subject-focused. - Anonymous Dissident^Talk 15:41, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Yes, that's true. A distracting background often ruins what is an otherwise good photo. The subject however seems to be in focus here and the DOF looks okay, so I don't think it should be too much of a problem. Just my two cents. :) RedCoat 16:05, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Background is not distracting and doesn't ruin but enhance the subject. Otherwise he would be a kind of unmaterial icon. It's a ski contest, isn't it ? --B.navez 16:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
