@sleepdozer57 Yeah, i should have maybe posted a link to the photo too, cause I guess not everyone's seen it. It went viral pretty fast and I just assume everyone saw it already.

Ah always thought it wasn't staged, thanks for this link. It's really interesting how a certain moment in time captured as a photograph like this can turn out so powerfully
