Shot of the Century!

[pkonline]

Congratulations to Carl Recine for winning the Barclays ‘Shot of the Century’ & £7,500 for his beautiful image of Claudio Ranieri kissing the Premier League trophy. Leicester City's 2016 triumph was described as one of the greatest sporting stories of all time - May 07, 2016 🎉

A brilliant snap, but why does Claudio have his eyes open in the reflection only?

What about Robert Huth's free-kick.  

 

Now there's a shot that lives in the memory. 

 

This is a great photo.

This is a great photo.

I didn't get to many games that year, and not one for taking photos, but I took my moment of a free kick in front of me to get my only action shots of that season...

Although this is a great photo in its own right, I can see why Racine's photo was judged to be slightly better.

That was a dangerous place to be sitting when Huth took that free-kick. Hope that you managed to get out of the way
