The Race
Taken a couple of weeks ago at the Richmond Park meet. The light wasn't very kind on this occasion, in that is was rather harsh.I know his rear end is a little tight in the frame, but I would rather it be that than the other end :biggrin:

This is my last upload for a couple of weeks as I am away on holiday.

40D,EF300mm f/4L IS USM +1.4x, ISO 400,F6.3,1/500Sec

Regards to all,

Fran

Excellent! I like the trace of blood that tells the story.

Yes its a nice action shot Fran. Always difficult when the light is as is but neverless you have still retained detail in the sides of the beast and the blood is an added bonus. :toast:

The tightness on the right doesn't worry me too much Fran, well caught.
See you on Sunday! :wink:

Nice action shot, shame about the light, as you say, although I like the soft look of the grass that he's running on.

Hi Fran

Great action shot - for me a little more room top, bottom and right would have been goo but that is a minor nit!

Thanks for your comments folks, appreciated as always.

David, I know what you mean, but on this occasion he came just a tad too close.
