THE TOUCHDOWN CELEBRATION VERSUS THE DIVE
Saturday evening was the
Virginia State Division 5 Semifinal football game. It was an exciting game that
came down to a field goal at the final buzzer. There were a lot of great
photographic opportunities along the way. Here are two of my favorites. The
first shows the players celebrating a touchdown as the runner is holding the
ball over the goal line. The second shows the runner diving toward the end
zone, although he came up a foot short. The local paper used the first one to
illustrate the online article about the game. Personally, I like the dive
better because it has better action. But the editor chose the first one because
it shows the excitement of the players at getting a touchdown. It just shows
that the value of a photo is in its intended use.
