Could have been taken by a kid with a throwaway camera.....


Composition, content, I don't like this shot on so many levels (although the flagpole sticking out of the jock's butt is a nice and unprofessional touch ).

My problem with it isn't that it's a spill (although.....), it's that it does NOT define racing.

Thoughts?

I had similar thoughts when I saw this was an Eclipse Award winning photo. It just goes to show that it is more about being in the right place at the right time than planning, composing etc.

I don't follow the Eclipse awards that much out of curiosity are there other Steeplechase awards given out as Eclipse Awards?
