This is incredible! While I don't want to take anything away from the top 3 photos from this challenge, I don't understand why this didn't take the top spot. If there's anything I've learned from or about photography, it's that you have to be in the right place at the right time to get THAT defining moment, and you did exactly that with this image. You can be very proud that you managed to capture this photo. Walk tall and be very proud of this achievement.

I thought for sure this one was gonna be a ribbon. Honestly, I think it's way better than mine. Congrats on top-5!

I can see that you had the idea before you got the shot, and that the elements came into composition as you were poised to shoot it. Well done, and thanks for sharing. Good lens choice, and excellent timing.
