    As mentioned in comments below, it’s a Chicago Tribune photographer, Stacey Wescott. Amazing photographer!

      Incredible shot then. I go to the World Press Exhibition each year and this is the kind of image you see taking the awards. There’s a ot of perfect timings all happening at once for it to work out.

        I was 100% thinking that too! I saw it and immediately was like “wow, that looks like it will win a prize.”

        Cool to hear you go to the press exhibition each year! You must see a lot of amazing photos there.

        I’m an amateur photographer and mostly do insects.

        Incredible timing, positioning, and framing. Also preparation I assume, being able to take the photo in that environment. Even the wind had to be right! Remarkable.
