I love horse racing, so I usually stay away from it, but love the way this is presented, the action is well seen, looks like its on a newspaper clipping

Great action shot of the horses on the racecourse and I like the edit to make it a pencil sketch - it really suits the subject which is clearly focused and has good dof.

Initially I thought that this was a pencil drawing, your use of filter is very effective here.
This is an awesome scene showing the horses during the race. They are well placed in the scene, the details are very well shown.
Nice work! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Very interesting image here. I like the pencil effect as it gives an old time look and a unique entry for the contest.

Good stop action photo with the horses well placed in the image.

I wish you all the best in the contest ~ Steve

It's always amazes me what puters can do to photos..give it a 100 years (or less) and the process will be photo..then computer..then please print to whatever size then frame..ship to gallery..who needs a traditional artist.. photos can capture anything for the computer can create. The only advantage is we can create fantasy creatures, unless someone discovers a real unicorn..wink wink..lol..this is awesome. The angle of the shot of this race with pencil effects is great. The capture of the light is great. The clarity is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and great job overall

Your photography is accurate, no blurriness, the pencil sketch proves it. When in distant I thought it was a drawing. The details of the background is clear and the trucks and houses are visibly illustrated. All in all 5 star.
