Looks like someone moved the body of Fabienne. She is in a different position in the picture in your blog from the picture on the link that won the award.
ReplyDeleteThe difference in Fabienne's position may be better explained in that the photos were taken by two different photographers. Carlos Garcia Rawlins took the snapshot included in the post while the award-winning photo was by Paul Hansen.
ReplyDeleteIf you click the link to the story, you can see a behind-the-scenes photo of several photographers taking photos of Fabienne. hence, photos of her are coming from roughly the same direction but at distinct angles.
Nonetheless, I'll change the sentence in order to clear up any confusion.
