Race horses, captured at huntingdon race course on Saturday. I don't know much about horse racing but it's quite a thrill to kneel on the course as these huge animals come thundering by at thirty miles an hour.

Larger version.

Edit: Added a second shot, taken right after the first one. I liked the first shot because of the position of the horses relative to each other, and how the shadow of the first horse seems to fall on the second, enhancing that 'hitchcock-esque' look, where the image hovers between real and fake. In the second shot though, I like the shadows in a different way, the action is more rigorous. (I cloned my shadow out of the second).
