I was recently reading the New York Times when I chanced upon a publication about photographs of Mohammed Ali. There are several pictures in this article but the one I found to be the most powerful and filled with raw emotion was the photograph of Mohammed Ali during a fight. Its profoundly touching... how he knocks his opponent out with such grace and skill.
The article showed Mohammed Ali in all moments of his life, from meeting Fidel Castro to pictures of him after a fight. The most memorable of these is of Mr. Ali in a boxing match, which was photographed by Art Shay. Mr. Shay attracted my interest through his attention to the composition of the picture and how his picture really captured the mood of the match, exciting and action- packed.

The close-up on Muhammad Ali shows him after a fight. He looks like he just fought because he's drenched in sweat and catching his breath. All of these pictures are great action shots of Muhammad Ali. From close-ups to medium shots, they all tell the story of his life.
