Nice capture ΓΆ€“ but the background is somewhat distracting ΓΆ€“ and there is some detail missing in the horse.

I was taking pictures of my dog running the other day, and realize how hard it is to get sharp focus of a running animal, even with autofocus. Nice. I also like how you've managed to keep the detail in the white horse. Good job.

A flying horse :) Very nice catch, sharp clean... I like it :)

did you bump up the saturation, or are those bushes really blue? Very cool capture though with her in mid gallop.
Maybe convert to B+W with red filter and increase the shadows a bit.

6 - Nice capture. Perhaps cloning out the minor distractions, or even cropping (not sure), may have given this even more. Nice mix of colors in this image. Looks like good control of the whites in / on Redcloud.

Wow...that's a great shot! Maybe some levels adjustments would've helped (but what do I know?)... This is my second favorite.

good capture, but the dead center position makes for a static composition, and the busy background detracts from the subject.

A really cool catch of this. too bad challenge rules don't allow you to add some wings to him! The field above his head is a little distracting, but you could not exactly pose this shot!

Great action shot.

A great shot. The dark spot near the one eye is distracting.

Beautiful! Horses are hard to shoot and this is a great capture. I love the processing, too. A 10 in my book.

Good timing. Alas the rest of the picture is too cluttered.

made me smile..

Wow what a great capture, my only problem is the lack of clarity in the face but it doesn't take away from the overall shot. Just to cool!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow! This is just different! The colors and depth of field and the bizarre stopped action with the horse in the air but looking directly into the camera are just cool!
