The eclipse award for photography is a joke. It often goes to the "coolest" photo as defined by an 11 year old boy.

Very true. I think this fits that criteria as well...

I'd like to see the other nominations..Borel crossing the line in the Derby was a priceless picture on many levels as it captured a moment of a lifetime, a horse falling down, well, as someone said grap a 11 year old at the Grand National and you have 30 - 40 chances of an even more dramatic picture.

Not loving it..

What are the criteria. Just that it must have been printed in a magazine/neswpaper and that the photographer must enter the photograph themselves for consideration-rather than a selection panel trawling through publications and coming up with nominations.

If the photographers have to send in the shot for consideration-it would be interesting to know how many don't bother
