Greetings from the Critique Club

I'm with the crowd on this shot. I love it, I'd love it a bit more if it were a hair sharper (1/800 really?)

I don't think this is high contrast, but I guess you know that. It's not brightness contrast and I'm not really sure with the track and the horse together that it's color contrast. If the horse was going by a car, maybe it would be subject contrast...as it is, I just don't see it.

(I'm also with coolhar- looks like Saratoga - Arlington must be beautiful).

Some contrast, but for me the green background subdues the overall effect. I love how all four hooves are off the ground though. Very cool...makes me nostalgic for my former home of Saratoga Springs, NY - love to watch the ponies race. :-)

Great picture, but to me the contrasts don't have an impact.

I don't think it particularly meets the challenge very well.

Great capture of the action here. Great timing to get all four legs in the air.

Great capture! The high contrast is not really obvious, though.
