Shirley, This is a very timely image for me to see since this past weekend was the running of the Kentucky Derby - a TREMENDOUSLY exciting race to watch this year - and, I happened to be in Kentucky to visit my son and grandkids in a Lexington-area town that has a sister reacetrack to Churchill Downs called Keeneland. We went to that track on Saturday. There, they had a Derby "watch" party, and many people there were in there Derby 'finest" clothese and hats. They take horse racing very seriously.
I love this image with all 4 hooves off the ground and the great story-telling aspect of the starting gates with numbers. I love your version of the and feel that the horese eye is in the middle of the frame which still allows space to run.
I also like Piers version of the image with the added motion blur, but feel that the saturation and lightness have been taken down too far.
You will love seeing this image in a frame on your wall. |

I did like the overhead lightbox at the car museum. When I was there Wednesday afternoon there was a vintage yellow Corvette beneath it. I got a few nice images of it, as well as "creative" shots of other cars throughout the museum. It was fun. |

Karen, Glad we had a chance to meet up at the St Augustine Birding festival.
I like this image a lot. I love the reflection of the ducks as well as that of the foliage on shore. There is a natural circle of light in the water, just beneath the ducks, that adds a great deal
The 3 stalks entering the image in the upper left are a bit of a distraction since the geometry of these stalks is completely different from the rest of the greenery. |

Great job with the editing in Post, Piers.
Since I now winter in SW FL, I regularly see these birds, and their more common cousins that you referenced. It's amazing to watch these birds duck underwater, swim after their selected quarry, and emerge with a fish in their beaks. They then have to toss the fish up in the air and allow gravity to (hopefully) position the fish head-down as they catch it to swallow it whole. Occasionally, the fish is too big for them to swallow whole, and they have to give up and start over. |
