Daily Deviation

Given 2008-11-08

Suggester says: "It has been said that photojournalism is the business of shooting exclamation points. HRR08 i like to get close by ~Theck not only left us with a visual exclamation point but the way how the artist was able to compose the piece that brought us into the Robert Capa tradition where the photographer placed his own safety in jeopardy, in order to get that killer shot." (Suggested by ~semi234-part2 and Featured by ^estudio)

This is awesome! The angle is cool, and I like the fact that you can't see the faces of the horse or the rider.

OH! He's flying. Great ENERGY!! The only thing I would mention is that the little red line coming off the reins is a bit... out of place - otherwise, I really like how you don't have their heads in the picture. Focus on the action, rather than the "OHSHIZNIT" expression on the ex-rider's face.
