Beautiful shot, I love the framing, the slightly underexposed shadows, the details of the hand...

stolenlife said 2017 days ago:

Beautiful capture. COuld be wider to really bring it into a 'moment' context, but very well done

zorilla said 2017 days ago:

You're so vein?

Sorry, but somebody had to say it.

flipthom said 2017 days ago:

It's hard to tell the context of the image, being zoomed in so close. On the other hand, it's easy to imagine.

Beamer said 2017 days ago:

Great shot!! Love the grit and textured feel of this.

Ana said 2017 days ago:

very nice composition, a bit dark and the detail is lost in the shadows. Great quality shot.

shonacole said 2017 days ago:

great moment, i am guessing after a race due to the pumped up veins, love the b&w and the deep blacks

TracyMartin said 2017 days ago:

Oh Zorilla, you are way too funny.

This was posted intentionally as a detail of a moment that is completely telling in itself. Context is relative, does one really need to see the racetrack in order to know that this is a racehorse and jockey. It is but one moment in a series of moments that define this persons life... but I digress.

Today is the artists reception for Mark Kitaoka's (Pursang) one man photography show called funnily enough "Moments of Humanity", a series of one moments. :-)))

Terrific image Tracy. Very well done. Is the horse somewhat less sharp than the jockey's hand and leg? Or is it just my eyes? Square format works really well. Congrats :-)

TracyMartin said 2017 days ago:

Thanks George, it is not your eyes, I really need to shut down my aperture a bit sometimes. :-)

stolenlife said 2017 days ago:

@mtmartini I see what youre saying, but all photographs are captured moments, from a series... The reason I thought it should have been wider, was to allow the shot to tell the tale, joy/sorrow on the jockeys face, exhaustion of the horse, just something more. Cropped tight, I have to make the story up myself

great shot tray and back to back features. you superstar!

TracyMartin said 2016 days ago:

@stolenlife - sometimes I am not very good at making a clear point, not even to myself, but the making the story up yourself was the point I was trying to get at regarding a 1000 words. :-)

Thanks to everyone for your comments and the features. Cheers.
