You can actually see Evan taking that iconic image during the rally coverage below.
Observe Evan's calm demeanor. This is a result of his extensive experience and unwavering confidence. It's as if he was born to frame and compose shots, a skill that has become his second nature.
I'm sure he saw the flag up there, waited for that moment, and initiated the shutter on his Sony.
It wouldn't have looked as good if he had been standing slightly to the right like the other photographers. He was in the perfect spot, and he knew it.
