Photography still is an art form, isn't it?

In terms of artistic quality as a capture and what the picture represents, it struck me instantly and perfectly as conveying that the 'event' transcended the horse.. which to the wider audience, it did.

As I said to Hovdey as well, as a New Yorker, it was redolent of one of the most famous magazine covers in history, Saul Steinberg's 'View of the World from 9th Avenue'..
