A race horse in the parade paddock, giving his opponents the evil eye before the race.
I cropped this shot but I didn't really want to.... click here for the uncropped version large.

Wonderful contrast in both the last two shots. I'm envious of your b&w processign abilities.

A very good shot indeed, your b&w conversion is spot on. I prefer the cropped version of this but either would work cause the image is that good. - [Chuks]

While I can see the reason for your crop, I have to say that I prefer the uncropped version. Either one is a very successful effort.

Thanks all, I should mention that I cropped it more because I wanted more of it to fit on the page than for aesthetic reasons, the uncropped version is definitely my choice. A bit lame I know :)

Your images have a real quality to them that makes them stand out. Seems to be a combination of shrpness and contrast not sure but it works so well.

Wow -- fantabulous b+w processing!! An an equine person, yay! For what it's worth, I prefer the cropped version - the bar on the bottom of the uncropped version is distracting for me. :D

Miles -- I think the crop works well here.

I'm not put off by the crop either. If anything, it helps focus the eyes on the horse eye. What a striking photo. Nice capture.

Thats quite a look.

miles -- I JUST looked at the uncropped version -- I like it a smidgeon better than the one you posted ... dunno why - I guess for me, I spent a lot of time at the race track -- a rail bird, if you will -- so seeing that rail reminds me of the good 'ol days...

Love this photo. The expressions are fantastic - horse vs. jockey in the shadows. Well done.

I believe that the full size version is better, for no real reason other than that it gives the viewer a better sense of the environment, even if it is only a little more.

frisky?
love the expression on the horse's face.

The horse totally reminds me of the one in Animal House.
