Oppose Good as a generic photo, but EV is limited as we can't see much detail of the equipment. The composition is even more problematic as it is centred not on the act of photographing (don't see what is being photographed) but the abdomen of the photographer. --ELEKHH^T 01:58, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hard to understand why this shouldn't have EV? It both has EV and also a good compositon, good light and it is a really useful picture released by the by the United States Navy - about the Expeditionary Combat Camera Underwater Photo Team. Quite a rare and good image. Hafspajen (talk) 16:43, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say that this is centered on the photographer. Which is pretty encyclopedic. The image basically shows what it looks like when someone uses a camera underwater - for an article on just that it seems fairly important. It's not meant to show the individual parts of the gear, and it's not really relevant what he's taking a picture of. The lighting and composition are also fairly pleasing. 24.222.214.125 (talk) 21:49, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is an example of what I would consider a good composition. --ELEKHH^T 03:04, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
