One of the best Cross Photographers out there, Joe Sales, was one of our judges and he had this to say about Halldor’s photo:

A Euro-maxed out dude shoulder to shoulder with a guy rocking disc brakes and a BC bike race jersey with fans cheering.  Older dude even has a bloody mini-bike light on his handlebars. And its  a perfect mild pan, just enough to capture motion and spoke blur but the riders are sharp.   The colours aren't dialed in but content is king.  This picture wins for sure.   There's even a baseball diamond in the background!  This picture shows that there is something for everyone at COTR: Euro - geekiness, Fred-Geekiness and crazed rabid spectators.   And after the race you can play softball.
