Amazing stop motion capture! What luck. I think a little less bright would be more attractive.

Pretty good stop action. I wish the back right hoof was more sharp. Also would be improved by the mallet being in play!

Nice action shot here. All four and a ball off the ground. but leaves me unsatisified.

Nice stop action shot. The only thing missing is the ball being hit.

Great timing on this shot.
Very unique approach in the crop and good supporting title.
I have mixed feelings on this as to if the red band helps or hurts the overall here.

Easily the coolest sports photo I've seen for a long time! Catching all four hoofs and the ball in the air is amazing enough, but fitting them all into this tight crop and shallow DOF makes for an incredible photo. I think you've also chosen wisely to include this much foreground. My first instinct was to slide the window down on the screen because I thought the image would look better with less foreground, but it takes away from the feeling of the horse being truly airborne. 10

Really neat shot. I like that the hoofs and the ball are all airborn. Wonderful stop motion image, well done! (8)
