For my money this is a great Uchimata. Notice how Tori (attacker) has completely taken Uke's shoulder out of the way by the use of his body positioning. A corner of his opponent has been taken away, thus leaving more control over the upper body, whilst lifting with his leg to gain maximum height. Not a text book application of the throw but never the less a brilliant move.
Many more Photos very soon.
