Not quite to the same level of expertise as some of the other avian images in this challenge, the image is flawed due to a difficult lighting situation leading to rather flat and dull coloring. The indifferent sky and back lighting in addition to the lens flare does not help. A good effort that might have been improved with a little more patience waiting for a different angle and lighting.

Not quite to the same level of expertise as some of the other avian images in this challenge, the image is flawed due to a difficult lighting situation leading to rather flat and dull conversion and soft focus. The overly busy background also enhances this problem. A good effort that might have been improved with a little more patience waiting for a different angle and lighting.

Another highly detailed and technically perfect image. Beauty, grace and style in a motion capture that would is the envy of many photographers. An image suitable for Aududon in any format. Well done.

Another highly detailed and technically perfect image, although it would do with a little more cropping on the right - that would be a personal choice however and as it is, it's wonderful.

Eadweard Muybridge in 1872 settled a bet on whether a horse ever has all four feet off the ground at the same time. This is a perfect example of that which is still argued today. A richly detailed and dramatic image, this demonstrates the beauty, grace and style of a running horse in the Sport of Kings. A beautiful image technically and artistically perfect. A top prize contender. Well done.
