Not everybody manages to take the perfect photo, but one definition of a masterpiece must surely be the ones which you look at and think: what’s about to happen one second after this was taken was already completely unavoidable. And the great news is that you don’t even have to be a professional photographer to achieve a masterful photo of this kind — you simply need to be in the right place at the right time, and have quick reactions.
