Photo Eclipse to CJ's Clevenger

[my miss storm cat]

The award has been given out for some really awful shots lately... it's nice to see something like this win.

I think it captures it. It has movement and electricity without being overblown. Your eye travels in a circular motion.

I like the background...

I like that there are crowds and there is movement within the crowds but the focus is on Zenyatta and Blame.

In a perfect world we wouldn't have a light pole sticking out of Mikies back but what can you do. It's not horrible...

It's the moment of the year - a moment that defines racing - which doesn't have to make it the winner of course but Jesus looking back on some of the God awful stuff that's won? A nice change.

He sounds shocked and touched and that's always a nice read.

Good for him.

I'd love to see that one.

With this photo, my lurking days are over.

My first thought looking at this is "Really?" I do give some credit here as at least it isn't a picture of a horse tripping over a jump, but compared to past winners, there is nothing remarkable about this picture. As a matter of fact, I'm only a decent photographer and I could have taken a shot like this. So there can only be one reason this won....

Look at the thing. freddymo may be joking but this picture makes it look like Zenyatta won. They appear to be near the edge of the lighting, so it is clearly shot past the line when she actually did get past. Does this have an official name like "Blame Crosses the Line First but Zenyatta Wins Anyway"?

I'd love to see the honorable mentions if anyone knows if/where they may be posted.

You know how I love helping the newbies ( especially when they are personal friends )....

Freddymo is always either joking or drunk.....or both.

Do you scavenge wrecked CanadianSpaceships?



Or just road kill?
