A really great photo by Sunette Kamffer; however, the cutline needs another line and it should be written in sentence form: "Havana Aarsby competes..."

A well-played image on front page! Lots of information in the cutline. Good job John!
Competition Comment:
Congratulations to The Independent, the World-Spectator and The Citizen for their wonderful sports images! The top three captured emotion so well — either as a tumble, a fear of riding an animal or as a team win.
A few notes moving forward:
1. Be sure to provide a fulsome cutline that includes the names of the people in the photo, as well as the date, location and reason for snapping.
2. Try not to jam all the photos onto one page (i.e., as a photo essay that confuses the eye).
3. Ensure the cropping is not too tight; give some breathing room for the reader to digest, and for better pagination.
