I always thought that this was a wonderful photo--really well done --congratulations--it is amazing to me that two people gave your photo a score of one!!
Gotta say it......I too thought this was yours when I voted. You're becoming too predictable with excellence. LOL Congratulations on your third place. (Actually, I was surprised it wasn't higher.) ;'-D
Nice panning! Great composition! Child is sneaking in there on you! Tsk, tsk! ;-) (The phantom child!). Colors, motion, speed - composition. I like it!
Great movement and excitment. Angle of horses head in frame spot on. Is that a kid in the background? Apparently not. Freaky expression on face is kind of weirding me out though. 7, Kavey
I really like the sense of motion in this shot. That said, the person in the lower right corner, I could have lived w/o. The detail of the horse's head is amazing!! 9 Swash
This is STUNNING! I love the colours, the dazzling light, and the extreme sense of movment. The composition of this image around the horse, which is made in a pose with its head back and mane flowing, fully accentuates the excitement and movement in the background. I can relate to it very, very well because I was horse mad as a child and LOVED merry-go-rounds (or carousels, or whatever you want to call them) with a passion. This brings back really powerful memories. I have to give it 10, and it's going to go right in my favourites list when the challenge is over :) - lisae
Great color and movement. I wish the rest of the mane were included but i'm sure there must have been something behind you to prohibit a perfect crop :P This carousel sure looks familiar....9 Lisa
The stopped motion is grand and I love the reflections on the horse. The "gesture" of the horse itself is very emotional and it is emphasised by the blurred background. The blurred background helps to convey the sense that childhood is an stage of wonderment and mystery. Beautiful image. 9 Journey
Of the several carrousel images on this week's challenge, this one is by far the best. The cropping was very well balanced, and the colouring and light are marvelous. It seems to be moving. Perhaps another horse in the background instead of a person would have made this perfect. Good luck!
I think this a good photograph of its type, contrasting sharpness with the blurred background. And the composition is spot on. In my top ten this week.
Definately reminds me of childhood. This is a really great photo. I loe how the horse it's self is in focus and the background isn't. The lighting is great. I love the colors, angle and frame placement. Very good job and good luck with the challenge.
Great image, love the motion and the emotion. Too bad that it looks like you captured a person's face in the image as well. It would have fit the assignment better if the face was not there.
Very cool!........I really like the motion captured in the background, it increases the sappearance of the spirit of the horse. I wish that witchy face wasn't in the background though. =8 syamjonimi ;'-D
very nice. great shot. (updated 8/27... while i like this shot there is something here that disturbs me. after reviewing the photo i think its the combination of the movement and the face in the background. it makes for a macabre scene. thrilling and spooky--kinda like childhood. one of my favs this week. upping score by 1) (9) ~mcmurma
Wow, I LOVE this one... the feeling of speed, the feeling of excitement, the wanting to be back there... as a child. And horses of any kind are still just about my greatest love! Great job!
Good choice of composition - captures the motion and evokes some of the uncertainty of childhood. Also can be from the child's perspective of a big, fast whirling world. Well done - mscott821
High impact, very appealing shot for me. Color, composition, light all work well. Definitely meets the challenge. Very imaginative perspective. lhall (10)
