Oppose. I don't see how this has high EV as you say. There are bound to be other pictures of this guy; he's not entirely notable; the picture doesn't tell me much about him. Also, could it do with a crop? --

Comment. I'm new to the VP process so please excuse any stupid questions, but what do you mean by "he's not entirely notable"? The article easily passes Wikipedia's notability criteria per
WP:ATHLETE. Are yousaying that Collins isn't very important so neither is the image?

Sorry, I don't know what I meant by 'not notable', I think I was tired at the time. I just mean why is this picture more valuable than any other picture of him? --

The point is that this is a technically superior image, IMO. It captures the subject in a way the enables the user to identify him very easily, which makes it high EV.--

Comment I think it would benefit from a tighter crop, to just focus on Collins. All the yellow in the background is very distracting, as are the players on the left. A crop doesn't need to remove Collins' action, just the extraneous parts of the image. It might end up a tad on the small size with a good crop though, which might mean a better image could be found.

This one I regret not voting on, it is a pretty good action shot. --
