Stefano Rellandini/Reuters

A competitor makes her way through discarded skis, as organisers wait for morning rain showers to ease so the women's World Cup Super-G ski event can proceed in Cortina d'Ampezzo, northern Italy on Jan. 19.

Good photojournalists are in the business of predicting as much as they are in the business of responding. I wonder how long Stefano Rellandini had to wait from the time he recognized the potential of this scene until the moment the skier entered the frame.
