Stefon Diggs' game-winning catch against the Saints
Context: This picture was taken on January 14th in the final seconds of the NFC Divison Round game between the New Orlean Saints and Minnesota Vikings. The picture was taken by Hannah Foslien of Getty Images.
Content: On this play, with the Vikings trailing the Saints by one with ten seconds remaining, Minnesota quarterback Case Keenum threw a deep pass to wide receiver Stefon Diggs who made the catch and ran 40 yards for the game-winning touchdown with no time left.
Form: This is a great picture because it shows the Saints defender, Marcus Williams, missing Diggs and also shows how high Diggs had to jump to catch the pass. The angle the photo was taken at also makes it different and interesting.
The Henningsvær Idrettslag Stadion in Norway
Content: This is an aerial shot of the Henningsvær Idrettslag Stadion in Henningsvær, Norway. The photographer of this image is unknown but I got it from Twitter a few months ago.
Context: Henningsvær is a town of just 500 people that is used mainly as a fishing town. However, that doesn't stop the dedicated Scandanavians from getting in some soccer. The field was built on one of the islands near the town flanked by rocks and fishing cabins. This is not actually a stadium, of course, because it has no seats. It is used by the kids and players in the area and is very well maintained.
Form: This may be the most scenic picture I have ever seen. It is so serene with the ocean flanking the small islands, you have the giant mountains topped with snow in the distance, and the incredible field to complement the image. It catches anyone who looks at the image off guard as you never expect to see a soccer field somewhere like this.
Real life "Blade Runner"
Content: This picture taken by an unknown photographer was captured in Toronto, Canada over the weekend.
Context: I found this image on Twitter and I was immediately blown away by its quality and fictional look. The person who tweeted the image said it looks like a shot out of a "Blade Runner" movie and I couldn't agree more.
Form: The angle at which this picture was taken and the number of advertisements in the background immediately catch your eye. However, if you examine the image of a couple more seconds, you can see a figure crossing the street in front of car lights. The cold looking rain/snow in the sky mixed with the lights makes the image really pop. The contrast between light and dark is so extreme it doesn't look real.
