  • Opppose. Highlights and CA make the focus point difficult to pick out. Also not sure how this has EV for swimming lessons or swimming, as its pretty obvious she's doing neither. Clegs (talk) 13:45, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Great for the family album or a stock photo agency, good for Commons, but lacks EV for WP. Per Clegs she's clearly neither swimming nor having a swimming lesson (and lets forget the EV for organic chemistry). Re the first listed article I'm highly dubious on the swimming float usage too; the very shallow DOF used makes it hard to say for sure, but she looks to be laying in very shallow water, thus not actually floating, or more to the point not using the kickboard as a flotation aid; her body posture and way the swim suit is laying would support this. And as a final kicker for EV, that's not how you're meant to use a kickboard. --jjron (talk) 05:49, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reluctant oppose pretty but EV is not compelling. Pinetalk 08:58, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose'. Sorry, nice picture but Jjron makes good points, and the girl appears to be falling asleep - just not feeling the EV. God EmperorTalk 11:45, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
