Support -- Stepro (talk) 14:22, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support To me it's really an unusual composition, but interesting and eye-catching. The blurred ring gives the whole image more depth and focus. Additionally, the scene reminds me of the genre "Behind The Scenes Photography". The technical quality is also very good. -- Radomianin (talk) 21:51, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There are dust spots on top. What exactly is this ring and what is its purpose other than to create some unusual setting? --A.Savin 22:47, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for pointing to this. I removed the two dust spots. This is a normal ring light (ultimately a lamp). It was used here to illuminate the trainer's face for a video recording. The video camera was to my right, he's looking right there. I just use this setting for an unusual shot. --Stepro (talk) 23:34, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Publicity of DHL is too much distracting to me --Wilfredor (talk) 19:34, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- My goal is to represent reality as well as possible. In reality, athletes and officials wear advertising on their clothing. --Stepro (talk) 23:22, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think it would be better off cropped to be more of a square with the ringlight more centered. Daniel Case (talk) 22:17, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, but I see no advantage in cropping it. The telling background would get lost. --Stepro (talk) 23:22, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not a striking composition to me. Cropping of part of the ring and the positioning in the circle detract, IMO. --Tagooty (talk) 02:14, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The asymmetry of the bottom crop of the ring light bugs me, too. Good photo but I'm not feeling it as an FP. I would have preferred a square photo with even crops of the ring light. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:13, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I just do not understand the composition --Uoaei1 (talk) 19:20, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
