Nice action shot with hardly any blur. I think you really captured the essence of this image by the cropping and BW rendition. Great job!

This is a great action shot and amazing b/w to boot. I really like the soft lighting around the hat, arm/shoulder and leg. I wish that there was some cushion space in front of the rider but other than that it's an excellent photo.

Oh, very nice picture! It catches the action, yet it doesn't emphasize it too much.

A very nice action image taken at a critical subject angle. You should consider using the 740 limit to enhance the clarity of your effort. On my second round I bumped this image to 6.

Nice shot! The only suggestions I have for slight improvement are a tighter crop on both the left and right sides, and if your camera allows it, a shallower depth of field.

This is a great action shot. A little small, and a maybe cropped a bit tight on the top. This could have been really great if it had been a little bigger. 8.

Great action shot. Next time, use all the pixels you can for image size, this is a little small. 8

Great stopped motion. I like it how it shows the speed and strength of the horse and the control and commitment of the girl. The light from behind outlines the bodies. Exposure and toning is great.

16.3, alright.

I love the frenetic feel to this shot and I particularly like the backlight on the hair with the background in shadow. A litlle more "looking room" in the crop would be nice.

Awesome stop-motion. Perfect composition. Contrast just a little too high given the breath of shades available imo. Well done! 9. Good luck!

Great capture. There's too much unnecessary space on the left. The feeling of rightward movement might be better supported by cropping right in.

Great horse, good action, lovely rider! Would be better full size. Love the way you stopped the motion. 9

Perfect capture to be in black and white, my favourite
