Support Edit 1 - nice action shot, although the original lacked sharpness. This is fixed in Edit 1. --Fir0002 07:08, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support edit 2 then original as a superb action shot - Fir0002, you also appear to have downsampled (edit 1) significantly and brightened it, making it in comparison a bit washed out left of Okitie - Peripitus (Talk) 09:21, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The downsampling was unavoidable in gaining sharpness, the brightening didn't happen AFAIK. The only other thing I did to the image is a mild noise reduction filter. That said, I've uploaded another edit at full res which I think is better than the original, but not as good as Edit 1 --Fir0002 10:05, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose Just doesn't look like anything special. Nothing notable going on in it, just a simple save save by a goalkeeper. Not sure it even has much encyclopedic value other than to show what Onka looks like. Buc (talk) 19:04, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't play or watch much soccer, so I'm not sure how many times a keeper makes a diving stop with his fingertips in a typical FIFA match, but to capture one with a good angle, using good equipment, with reasonably good composition/focus, and then license it freely is quite exceptional. Sure you can find plenty of better shots from Getty, but none that you can use here. Cacophony (talk) 04:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
