A Memorable Image
                                                       

This picture is taken from a low viewpoint that lends strength and dramatic effect to the subject. Especially, the athlete’s face shows the most strength and a dramatic expression. In addition, it is a symmetrical balance. The picture has an air of dignity. The photographer rapidly caught a scene when the weight lifter was lifting up a 98 kg weight and failing. How amazing!
