I think the picture is great. It is a right place right time sort of shot. I could understand why people (especially on this board) would not like the photo. Whenever you see some sort of dramatic photo like this, you have to try to determine what the outcome was. With this shot, there is a chance that the jockey and or the horse could have been seriously injured. Would you have the same reaction to a stuntman flipping over the handlebars of a motorcycle? But just the thought of a horse maybe having to be put down is a very sensitive subject. The fact that everyone was ok makes the picture even better.
