Comment by bamaster:
Photo appears a little distorted.. slightly rounded... as if shot with a fisheye lens. Just slightly, but that's prolly a product of the round shapes. Wish I had a pear tree.

Comment by bobgaither:
When I submitted this picture I knew I would hear about cutting off the horse's legs.
The main subject was the man in the photograph and that is the way I took the image. If I taken the photo below it would had the rail and I would have heard about that. It was my second choice to enter in the contest, for it was my safest picture from controversy.
Thanks for the voting and comments.

nice shot. i wish it wasn't so centered. i probably would've cropped it tighter.

Very nice. (Is the jockey muzzled? mouth covered) I think I would have liked to see a little more horse, otherwise, the framing is very nice. Great color. 9 Swash
