Annual first-year obstacle course at Royal Military College in Kingston.

This photo was taken on October 1 at the Royal Military College in Kingston, ON.

Simply awesome!

better him then me :)

Very Good. Its Great actually.

What a mess! I wish I could see more of the scene. Without your explanation interpretation is not instant. Good capture of an unforgettable moment in this man's life!

Interesting shot. Was this staged?

Not staged at all, no. They put all of their first-year students through a grueling obstacle course as a team-building thing.

Awesome image. I love it. This is journalism.... Good to see shots like this in the News/Journalism section to show others what journalism truly is. 7/7

I keep coming back to this image...... words can't describe the outstanding moment you have captured here. Give us more details..... how many shots did you take to come up with this one? A great addition to your portfolio I'm sure.

I had perhaps a hundred shots of this one event, and about 600 images from the whole day. Perhaps I'll post more of them.

I like this better of the two muddy shots. I think it accurately shows the anguish, yet without showing his face straight on. The profile works well here. A fabulous capture in time!
