Very impressive and colorful (the jockeys' apparel) sports action photograph. Very good 'You Are There' photography. I can easily visualize myself in-person at this horse race in Ireland, in an anticipatory mood hoping that the horse that I betted on wins this race.

On my office door I once had an 18" x 36" poster of a horse's backside with a caption that read "The world is full of them!". Now I wonder what sort of caption would best be applied to this scene?

Excellent stop motion camera technique.

The colors of the jockey's uniforms is crisp and natural in appearance.

A very well composed action shot ... Bob

wait! are you running behind them to get this capture? lol...im just teasing..this is a cool capture. the angle of the shot of the rear view of the horse race is great. the capture of the light is great. the clarity is great. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Now you have the humorous distinction, of recording all these bounding and bouncing rears at a horse race and I think you have done a marvelous job. very enjoyable. Ray

Although I'd much prefer seeing a 'rear view' of some attractive human females I'm still enjoying this well photographed scene that you've presented us with,Nikman!

I like the colorful outfits of the jockeys, and I also think it was a great idea to picture them from behind. I also like how well you have captured the kicked up dust, and the fine stop action.

The photo is sharp with clear and well defined details, and the exposure is very good.

The format and framing is working well, and the horses has been given room to move into. A great looking and well taken photo Nikman, and with a very good DOF.

Well captured with good stop action, the jockeys are in position to work with the horse as a team.
Well focused, clear image with good use of the light .
Colors and tones appear true and natural.
Well composed and presented!

Comment from Charlotte Morse


Ha ha this is great and made me laugh!
Everything that should be in focus is beautifully crisp - which is pretty tricky with the speed they're going! So very well done on that.
I like the dust thrown up from their hooves, which gives the photo great atmosphere.
Shame about the fence as it does distract a bit, but hey not a lot you could have done about that!

Ah! Horseracing. I love to watch this sport. I do not gamble but if I had money, I would own a racehorse. I think this is interesting as the course looks old fashion kind of racing. Are they just practicing?

    Very many thanks for your nice review! No, they were not practicing, but racing in a country location well away from towns or cities.
