Original – Jessica Ennis, MBE performing the long jump at the Yorkshire Track and Field Championships 2010. Ennis is the current European and former World heptathlon champion and is the former world indoor pentathlon champion.

Reason: A current and popular young British athlete doing one of the things she does best. Focus is satisfyingly straight on her face and the image has been the lead in her article since at least May last year.

Weak Support for Jessica Ennis, oppose for long jump. A good action shot of her doing the jump, but for long jump we don't get to see the entire sandpit area or runway, which would allow us to put it into context. We don't know from this photo that she's doing a long jump as opposed to just any old jump. Matthewedwards : Chat 22:26, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The long jump article is under-illustrated, and this picture has been placed carefully in the section that describes the final part of the jump, so it's entirely relevant to that content. Other pictures would do a better job of illustrating the sandpit, but this one doesn't have to. Also, there's no need to oppose because of one article placement as long as the EV is present elsewhere? Strange way to vote. Julia\^talk 22:41, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I always assumed that it had to do with the way it was captioned and linked at WP:Featured pictures. Oh well. Matthewedwards : Chat 02:02, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the general assumption is that since articles are to be put in order of greatest to least EV, where greatest EV usually coincides with narrowest scope, that the narrowest scope will be the nominal one at WP:FP listing. In the rare case that the greatest EV is for the article about the creator (notable artist/photographer), the second best may be included for variety.

Weak oppose due to motion blur. Fine for an action shot, I guess, but not exactly the best way to identify someone. Honestly, I got an instant headache looking at it, although it's not as bad as an image I've seen at FPC on Commons. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:00, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Good action shot, managed to get a full shot of the face and everything. Clegs (talk) 08:36, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support. Could be sharper, but it has a lot of personality. Chick Bowen 05:34, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Clegs. 2ms shutter speed leaves nothing to be desired. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 16:24, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
