Description

This dynamic action photograph captures a motocross rider suspended mid-air above a steep sandy dirt hill. The rider is dressed in a matching white and blue jersey with colourful graphics, white and black cow print riding pants, white protective boots, and a matching full-face helmet with tinted goggles. The harsh direct sunlight casts a sharp shadow of the rider onto the dusty earthen slope below, while sparse green trees crown the ridge in the background. The vertical composition emphasizes the height of the jump against the rugged terrain. Photographed in Paris by Fabien Dumas.
