Comment by Marty:
I really like this one. After looking at it closely, I see the shadows from relatively harsh lighting. In this case, it seems to add a nice effect. Softer lighting would not have been better here.

The reflection just makes this shot, it almost looks like a flood filter but natural.

Colour, Lines, interest. This does have it all. The effect you have created is really good, the composition works exceptionally well, but above all, the coloour is what really makes this image work

Lucky duck you!!!! You got to see the races up close! My eldest would love to see one of the races live - she loves horses.

The crop is good on this tilt for you have the horses mouth/nose lined up directly with the bottom left corner while Borel's tail end is lined up with the upper right corner. Diagonal lining of element placement is strong because of how you cropped this. However, that strength opens up a weakness in that you had to crop out the 'action' of the shot. The moving legs and the flying hair of the horses tail which would give the shot a strong sense of motion which would have further strengthened the sense of falling or rather rushing/racing 'downhill'. Cases like this I wish that it was possible to do both but the nature of the crop does not allow that:-(
