Wipe Out

While at a snowmobile drag race of over 150 entries, I was lucky enough to catch the one and only mishap. Fortunately the drive only wound up with miner injures but his sled had some serious damage, also check out the facial expressions on the people on the ski left in the back ground.

The timing is great (you pressed the shutter in exactly the right instant), but otherwise the photo is not that impressive. To improve it I would crop around the guy and his sled - this would make the shot much more dramatic.

Photojournalism tells a story, here are the fact.
1- driver at 90mph wipes out.
2- driver gets thrown from sled.
3- Sled flips away from driver
4- Snow flies.
5- People in chair lift in back ground have a look ao disbelief, THAT MAKES THE SHOT!!!
If I cropped the shot you lose the best part!
This is not meant to be a pretty picture, this picture tells a story.
Sorry that You are not impressed, but 4 news papers and 5 snowmobile magazines were!!
I don't snap pictures, I make them!

I agree, great shot! it's all there, I am new to Photography but I think cropping the image would leave the sled and driver nowhere to go without the picture looking squeezed, if you tried to crop and still wanted to observe the rule of thirds you would need to either lose some of the guys right leg, or leave the onlookers feet dangling top left of shot. maybe someone could crop the image sucessfully? But to me that would be like removing certain chapters from a book.
