- An attempt to boost our sports FPs. Seems to be one of the best snowboarding shots we have and gives some snow, scenery, and motion for context. Decent size, too.

- Support. Good panning is rare at FPC. A fine action shot. Durova408 21:11, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- Weak support. Great shot. Looks oversharpened and oversaturated though. Kaldari (talk) 21:54, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- Support per Durova. (I also added to the caption.) upstateNYer 00:16, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- Support. The tuft of snow on the left shows us where he has come from, and contextualises the shot. Mostlyharmless (talk)
- Weak Support Nice action image, but I think the shutter speed wasn't fast enough. The background is a little bit more blurry than expected. Kangxi Emperor 康熙帝 (talk) 08:17, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

- Agreeing with Muhammad: panning is done for deliberate artistic effect in sports photography because it conveys a sense of motion. Durova408 17:46, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
