Amazing quality

This is a very stirring action photo. Very rarely have I seen one that screams out with qualities like this one does.

Chris Harrison , July 17, 2006; 02:06 A.M.

Just perfect.

Tom Leech , July 17, 2006; 08:22 A.M.

Excellent image. I like how you've darkened that background and make the horses head stand out so dramatically.

Curious though, how long do you have to wait for the animal to run around and get in a position such as this to capture? Are they playful and always stirring up the dust or does this type of photography require a large amount of time and paitience waiting for the right pose to come along?

Thanks, Tom.

Salvatore Saitta , July 17, 2006; 12:12 P.M.

Stunning, 7/7

Great moment ;)

Jim Kerr , July 17, 2006; 12:15 P.M.

Wojtek, My opinion is that your work is the best of it's type in the world today and this one is no exception......Jim

Charles Mifsud , July 17, 2006; 01:41 P.M.

Charles

The moment ,the tension, the torsion in the muscles,the vivid movement come at a standstill as a horse makes a turn.... all captured in a timeless moment of a click of the shutter....Can photography do justice to this shot...yes only because behing the camera were the eyes and feeling of an artist.Congratulations Wojtek.

Mariusz Pawlowski , July 17, 2006; 03:13 P.M.

I think we have established that this is a wonderful image. But, I find myself wondering how it might look with the 'distracting' lattice on the right removed.

Congratulations!

Nancy Stock , November 14, 2006; 08:57 P.M.

Over Photoshopped

I would like this a lot more with a lot less photoshop fiddling. Certainly the composition and capture are excellent, but a little more photography and a little less obvious post processing please.

Julia Molner , November 20, 2006; 08:42 A.M.

10!

Fabulous!!!

I am amazed!!!

Maurizio Melozzi , December 18, 2006; 01:06 P.M.

.....

SIMPLY FANTASTIC !!!!! ..... AMAZING IS TOO LESS !!!

AS de Beer , December 18, 2006; 03:49 P.M.

Why...?

i realise it is an old over-worked issue, but how come that there is still someone lurking in the dust who can give this stunning photo a 3/4 rating?

M Swift , December 18, 2006; 03:51 P.M.

Beautiful image. However, I get a kick out of the reply to the request for "technical details" that one poster asked for. The image's creator forgot to mention the TON of great post processing work involved in this image. It doesn't look like this because of some magic f-stop and shutter speed. Some newer photographers seeking to create this type of work may not understand that. Get proficient with Photoshop and you are at least part way there.

Edward Woods , December 18, 2006; 05:39 P.M.

Wojtek, Another wonderful image of your horses. Wonderful action and muscle definition. The colors are classical like chiseled marble. Our thoroughbred wishes you a Merry Christmas!! Respectfully, Andy

Sheryl W (Blue Mt.) , February 25, 2007; 10:36 A.M.

wonderful color...

... evokes power and beauty

Suddhajit Sen , March 02, 2007; 02:19 P.M.

Wonderful

Kudos to your sense of timing and sense of drama.It is a wonderful composition.Being a beginner I would like to know how much credit will you give to photoshop for this stunning outcome?

Michelle Rudland , March 02, 2007; 02:37 P.M.

Wonderful image! Your eye is amazing. You wouldn't want to discuss equine photography would you? Michelle

Mel Peters , March 02, 2007; 05:05 P.M.

Bloody hell, that's good!

juan pablo cuadra , March 02, 2007; 05:29 P.M.

Doesn't anyone remember ...

Dodging and burning with different Polycontrast filters? OK, it's clear that we can do far more in Photoshop than those mechanical skills allowed. But at what point does it become too much? In the eye of the beholder, obviously, but what if the original isn't that far off from what we see here? I know of many POY photos from the 1980s that took the shooter hours to get right in the darkroom because of the complexity of dodging and burning.

Geoff Smith , March 02, 2007; 08:42 P.M.

Stunning!!

Sauciuc Gabriela , January 06, 2008; 08:12 A.M.
