Wonderful expression and good tones. Maybe a little more light on his face would work though. Judi

I really like this photo. great job, changed my vote from 7-9. This should be named the "Forgotten Heros".

Great image. Wish the skin tones were just a little lighter so I could see his face better. Well done - 8 good luck in the challenge!

I think it is more a portret than a sports photo. But I adore this one! 10

Great portrait. Not sure it meets the "action" portion of the challenge though.
07/14/2005 06:54:35 AM
Like the b/w here.
07/13/2005 11:15:32 PM
Awesome portrait. Hope you don't get hammered for not showing "action."
07/13/2005 04:42:46 PM
Nice lighting, dof gr8 and comp. Lacking a bit of action. The b&w is gr8.
07/13/2005 04:14:12 PM
Lovely picture. I can tell hes done well by the big smile. Lovely use of black and white and I like the way the background is insignificant and dosn't interfere with the jockey
07/13/2005 02:03:55 PM
Pound for pound the strongset athletes in the world!
07/13/2005 12:03:04 PM

Really pleased jockey. I like the depth of tone. Nice detail - just wish there were a bit more light on his face. 8
