The Beaver (Oakville, ON)
Entry Title:
Car going wrong way on busy Oakville street hits and injures 2 cyclists
Entry Credit:

Judge Comment:
Three bicycles and one rider tells the story of two fallen cyclists in this tragic tale. Great instinct by the photographer to create a memorable shot with little action available.
Competition Comment:
The privilege of being a news photographer means gaining access to significant situations of community interest. The challenge is to portray those opportunities in a manner that stands out from those of the person with a cellphone camera who happens upon the same scene.
