You feel up close to the action in this image, with mud flying all around. Great sports photography needs fast shutter speeds if you'd like to freeze the moment, and using a 1/1000th of a second does that with this shot. Also getting below the spectator fencing clearly paid off with the angle. Nice work.

We’re applying the black and white treatment to sports photography, and seeing how it brings a different look and feel to a genre that we usually only see in full colour news publications and websites. Any sport is fair game (pun intended) and if adding a subtle colour tone such as sepia or blue to your black and white image is your preference, these are also fine to be included.
