Hi there. It looks a lot like one of mine. These guys are fun to shoot!

After all this neither of us snagged the brown!

Great shot, and good job weathering the dnmc's with me. :)

I am sure you are gonna get slammed by people who don't get this - but I think this is a fantastic shot. I kinda wish my bike was that nice. 9

I think I would have composed this a bit differently but I love that you were thinking outside the box (8)

Hello. I am making a point on commenting on the photos that I rated a 2 or 3 in this challenge.

I gave this image a 2 for the following:

This is a DNMC from me. As much as I enjoy varied interpretations on challenges, for them to score well they have to be well thought out, clever, and at least thinly relative to the subject. This, in my opinion, is merely an action photo thrown in hoping to get some kind of wow factor vote, with the only relativity being the word "horse". To me, it's a cheap and quick way to enter a challenge for the sake of entering a challenge.

With this kind of choice, come chances. On this draw, you got a 2.

Great shot but you know it wouldn't score well, right? ;]

nice action shot, good colours, very crisp - but does not meet the objective of the challenge.
