Famous Photograph

This photograph, taken by Morry Gash during the 2010-2011 NBA season, is very impressive to me. I appreciate the framing of the two players, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. It is very pleasing to see Wade running with his arms out in celebration without even looking at the dunk that is happening behind him. I think it shows a level of trust between the two players that goes unnoticed without this photo. I also like the aperture used in this photo, as the two players are both in focus. Lastly I enjoy the lighting, as there is a ray of light that is hitting LeBron’s face, adding another layer of almost holiness to this photo. This photo sticks out to me because it is one of the most iconic sports photos of all time, and just shows that being in the right place at the right time would mean nothing if Gash never snapped the shot.
