GORGEOUS. Great shot, nice treatment too. I'm not usually a fan of the top-and-bottom bars but they seem to help with the "motion" feel of this shot somehow.

Strong stop-action shot - the tension is palpable. Your choice of border compliments the photo well, adding to the sense of speed and forward movement.

Nice capture, good processing, like the border added as well as it compliments the photo. Crop is spot on

Eadweard Muybridge in 1872 settled a bet on whether a horse ever has all four feet off the ground at the same time. This is a perfect example of that which is still argued today. A richly detailed and dramatic image, this demonstrates the beauty, grace and style of a running horse in the Sport of Kings. A beautiful image technically and artistically perfect. A top prize contender. Well done.
