Title referring to the dragons? Very interesting image. I like the POV. Unfortunately, the lack of light and short DOV rendered the closest dragon a blob. A way to fix this so the dragon is more easily recognizable is to move further away and zoom in on the two dragons. If you have a little extra frame you can always crop it. Focal compression technique would also be useful here - it would move the dragons closer together so to speak, enabling you to have a shorter depth of field.

This one would be a really great photo If both beasts would be in focus (and not one of them and the fence behind).

Like the mood created here (and I don't mean a dog race ... not a fit title BTW), especially with those great orange verticals that stand subdued but firm in the BG and that splash of green. A neat overcast shot. 9.

Good title. I think it would have worked better if the front head was in focus, and not so dark.

Good photo. If only the arms on the chair could be lightened a bit for the detail......

I love the colors in this image but wish the closer rail was sharp & with detail (7)

The photo is to dark and the out of focus bench arm bothers me as well. Because of the title I guess there must be something on the arms that could be seen as racing, but it is hard to tell. Maybe if the photo was taken from a different angle. Take from my comment what you can and good luck.

Quite moody - interesting colour

I think your dog in foreground should have been in focus. My eyes keep going to the background

Overall not a very good photo.

Interesting photo...I like the green cast to the lighting.

focus seems to be more on the flooring than the metal..maybe a different angle would hav helped.
