•  Comment As seen at QIC. There were several really good images in this series and this one is one of my favourites: sharp, nice facial expression, impression of speed and splashing snow. --Basotxerri (talk) 09:26, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

• Granada says this has been downscaled. Is that true? Charles (talk) 08:42, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

• Please have a look at the featured sports pictures that were shot indoors (most of them are handball) or at bad lighting. The are _all_ downscaled, so it does not matter if an exciting sports image has its full resolution or if it's downscaled to 6MP as the image above. --Granada (talk) 12:30, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

• It might be downscaled but this image at its resolution still keeps on being absolutely stunning to me. --Basotxerri (talk) 16:35, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks to Basotxerri for nomination and reasoning! This picture is a crop because of speed she left almost the frame, original size 3550 at the long side. Amused by the discussion I have uploaded an upscale - 5600px at the long side. On a 27" UHD Monitor (2560x1440) it looks still fine at 100%. Maybe anyone can explain the benefit? --Isiwal (talk) 16:23, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

• Thank you for uploading the 100% version! tl;dr: It's still great. "But" now one can see the small deficits lenses produce with a camera that has the same pixel density as my D850: small amounts of CAs, small amounts of halos around contrasting edges and small amounts of unsharpness. But I know that one can easily make very large prints of either version of this image without any kind of visibility of those lens errors or the reduced resolution of the downscaled version. --Granada (talk) 08:00, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

• To me, it's even more impressive at full size. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:23, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Strong support An image that conveys extremely well the essence of what is not a widely-known sport (at least outside of Europe). I realize she probably isn't smiling, if so certainly not for the camera, but nonetheless she still looks like she's having a good time. Daniel Case (talk) 22:34, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
