A photographer has come under fire in China for his pictures of a man falling off a bicycle.
The man took a spectacular digger in Xiamen city after his bike hit a pot-hole submerged in rainwater.
But photographer Liu Tao was accused of lying in wait to take his pictures instead of warning people of the danger.
Readers of the Beijing Youth Daily, which published the shots, wrote in to express their feelings.
One wrote: "The pictures are well shot, but the person who shot this is disgusting. He knew there was a pit, but was waiting there for someone to fall over."
And another said: "The photographer should really be condemned since he knew there definitely would be other victims."
Liu defended himself, saying: "I just knew that the city government has paved the pit, and without my pictures, the pit would not be noticed by the government, and there would perhaps be more people falling over."

I wonder what wonderful line of reasoning the photographer would have come up with had this fella been run over by a bus following his tumble. I never cease to be amazed as to how low people will stoop to get a photo op.

I'm sorry but those pics are hilarious, and it doesn't look like the guy was hurt, seriously anyway. If he had been in America and someone was there with a camcorder they'd be $10,000 dollars richer on America's Funniest Home videos and everyone would be complimenting him on being there at the right time!
