Description

A high-angle shot captures an African American athlete mid-air, clearing the high jump bar during an outdoor track and field event. The athlete is upside down, with arms extended and legs bent over the bar. He is wearing a pink and purple athletic top with dark shorts and pink and black sneakers. The high jump bar is red with green accents. The running track is a solid red surface. Part of the high jump landing pad is visible at the bottom of the frame. The image is taken on a bright, sunny day.
