DrAchooComment: I really like this shot! I didn't have time to do any commenting during this challenge, but I have to say that I think this was a great shot.
I'm just chuckling here at some of the comments about your exposure and composition. *grin* My bet is that you were also on the ride in order to have captured this shot, right? Yeah, I can bet that being whirled around at the same time as your subject, doesn't exactly lend itself well, to trying to get a shot composed, right lighting, right composition etc.....especially with MINIMAL EDITING!!!! I think it's terrific that you even caught it in great focus!
AND.....since this was a "photojournalism" challenge, this fits very well! What action shot in the front of newspapers does one see that are perfectly composed and exposed????!! Peeps are still thinking STOCK SHOTS!!! *smile* I wonder how many in here would actually make it as a photojourlist??? "Wait, hold still, gotta compose this shot! Don't bring that axe down yet.....haven't gotten the exposure right yet. Where's my light meter?" *wink, grin*
Nice work! I think it should have scored MUCH higer......but, then again.....it's not a fire, is it?! *wink*
