Mountain biker

Photo of a mountain biker in Mount Hood National Forest, Oregon, USA. Great angle, sharp, good colors. Used in Mountain biking too.

Nominate and support. - howch e ng {chat} 16:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Blown-out highlights. Mikeo 17:16, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd noticed that, but the sun is to the right and above the biker's head, which IMHO adds to the dramatic effect of the photo. howch e ng {chat} 17:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, subject is too small. Granted, the angle is dramatic, but does not add to the encycopedic value of the picture. I'd even go as far a saying it hurts it (are Mountain bikers always flying?). --Dschwen 17:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose good picture, just not very encyclopedic. It does have blown out highlight but I think they are fine in this pic, I dunno how you'd get the biker to show up without them blown out. -Ravedave 02:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as Dschewen said: 'are Mountain bikers always flying?'--K.C. Tang 03:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, for two reasons. One, it's too blurry, and two, that guy's head at the very bottom is out of place. I think most people realize that mountain bikers don't always fly though... --Lewk_of_Serthic _contrib ^talk 04:39, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Ooh, I didn't even notice the head. I'll have to Photoshop him out. howch e ng {chat} 06:07, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Please don't. --Dschwen 06:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Dschwen - Glaurung 05:54, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The image shows the movement of the mountain biker and he's jumping not flying. I don't see what's wrong with that. And yes, mountain bikers do jump regularly. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:17, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support... maybe I'm being generous today... but, this picture is pretty nifty... I also think the blown out are interesting... although, I agree it may not be the most representative or encyclopedic, as they say. Oh well. gren グレン 01:00, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The blowing out reduces its descriptive value, and the image itself shows a lot more about the trees than the biker (uses a human size for reference on the tree's size). The biker is almost an afterthought and while I don't mind him jumping it's an awkward image. Staxringold 15:02, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- perspective looks a little bit forced, and I don't know what the biker jumped off of or where he's going. I don't think I'd stand underneath, though. --E lkman - ^(talk) 23:05, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think it's a great angle. --Fir0002 www 12:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Staxringold J.Steinbock ^(Talk)
