Whitewater kayaking

A treacherous stretch of rapids made sure this duckie race was anything but easy for the two-man teams.

A much better image for Whitewater kayaking than the original low quality, {{unknown}} photo... even if the guy's got an odd look on his face. I'd probably be doing the same thing in that situation. :)  BRIAN0918  08:32, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Support. I concur about the water droplets. Enochlau 01:12, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Neutral. This one is a bit like the earlier surfing nomination - its a nice action shot but the lighting is little disappointing. In this case, the framing is a bit of a problem too. -- Solipsist 08:00, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. Apart from the very sharp water, it doesn't have much going for it. Too much grey. ed g2s • talk 14:35, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Support Definitely brilliant. Circeus 23:47, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. I'm sorry, but that guy's face simply detracts me from the image too much. Junes 12:08, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. The cropping is not of a featured level and I would like to see a more impressive rapid for such a picture. Janderk 15:17, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. Too-tight cropping, an unimpressive thumbnail, and the comical expression are all minor issues, but taken together, they keep this from featured quality. —Korath (Talk) 14:07, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
