From this shot, the horse barely looks like he's even moving. I'm sure he was, or you wouldn't have submitted it to an extreme action challenge, but to be honest, he just doesn't look like he's moving. Maybe walking, but definately not extreme.
To answer your question of do 'you' think it's too photoshopy? Yes. While I love the color, I don't like the darkened corners.
I thought there were some leaves in the 'sky' above the horse, but looking closer, it looks as if there is another horse behind the main subject. This little guy is more than just a distraction, I think he invades your subject greatly and takes so much away from what is such a beautiful subject.
Having the background blurred is a plus, but it does seem a bit unnatural. See the area around the left (the horses' right) rear end? He's got kind of an orangish glow around him. This also distracts.
I have to wonder why the dark corners. Were there other elements that you were trying to hide? Something distracting perhaps? I see no positive purpose to that in this photo.
All that being said, I love the actual shot of the horse, and can only imagine what the scene looked like in real life. I'm thinking the original might have been better (minus the guy in the background, of course)

A very different shot. Not the one I would actually expect to see in this challenge.
But still I think it is gorgeous, and in a way implies to an extreme action. 9 |

| color tones here are great. Don't think I care for the vignette effect. |

| It's really hard to see this as "action", IMO, but it's immensely appealing and I score it well. I'd liek it better without the unfortunately-placed BG horse. Good luck with it. |

| This image stands out in the crowd. A little kick or a toss of the head would have totally made the shot. You get Kudos in my book |

| Some strange motion here (artificial motion blur probably). Nice view of the horse - background is too busy and your vignette supplements a potentially quite bland composoition. Tone works for the subject, but the action here is mostly man-made and is not extreme enough for this challenge in my view. |

So many shots in this challenge appear dull and lifeless but this one is def. a stand out !
Full of energy, full of emotion, full of movement and rythmn, and most importantly full of beauty. A work of art! 10 |
