Do not know if this works and it was great stress relief. I motion blurred, erased in low opacity and posterized. #1155877Jeff E Jensen July 18, 2009
It works for me Ellen. I like the detail that remained in the face of the jockey on the left. #7752502Dale Hardin July 18, 2009
Ellen, this is fabulous. it portrays the moment perfectly. Well done. #7752530Michael Kelly July 18, 2009
Ellen I think this is a great action shot! Love the colors and the motion portrayed in the shot. I am not sure the posterization really adds to the shot but overall it seems to work well. #7753332Anthony L. Mancuso July 18, 2009
I like it Ellen, very cool...its great the way all of your horse track shots each have a unique feel to them.. #7753713Jeanine M. Bailey July 18, 2009
This is pretty cool Ellen!! :) I like the motion and the colors!! :) #7753774Jodi M. Walsh July 18, 2009
so was there some motion blur in the original or did you add it all? I like this a lot. not a huge fan of the posterization but it's still cool.now i'm all curious about capturing motion after trying to photograph race cars. what's you secret Ellen? :-) #7753859

I think this is a great shot, Ellen? You should have seen me today out at my friend's ranch trying to take pictures of her and her horse and her miniature donkey and one of her dogs. It really was a zoo and I did get a few shots. I thought of you and wished you'd been with me to help me in my equestrian experience! Will probably post a small album for her to took at tomorrow. In my mind it was, "What would Ellen Do? "How would she tell me how to do this shot?". #7754085Ellen H. Robertson July 19, 2009
Thanks Jeff and Dale after a week of working with my husband I needed to get away and decompress. Having a business with a spouse is a great test for the marriage. He does nothing my way, and for all you husbands the wifes way is the ONLY way.;))Thanks Mike the shot needed something else so I posterized, of course I did not save any of this process, because I thought this shot was a lost cause until the very end. So to take away the posterization I would have to redo.
Thanks Tony, every race is unique and every horse brings their own twist. Here is a shot of the 2 horses behind these two. #7754471

Thanks Jeanine.Debbie E. Payne July 19, 2009
Ellen, it is on the first page of my gallery. Finished it up around 1:45 this morning. Wanted to get it done right away since we leave Tuesday for an overnighter in Denver because we are going to Red Rocks (this amazing amphitheatre with the best acoustics you can find anywhere to see Journey and Heart). Back to back, we leave from Denver Tuesday to head for Salt Lake City to see my son for a few days.This will give her time to decide which photos she wants. I'd really like your opinion. Thanks. Love the "dirt" shot! Reminds me of those great shots of football players playing in the mud! #7755403Debbra Bailey July 19, 2009
Love it! Awesome awesome image Ellen! #7756432Michael Kelly July 19, 2009
Ellen this last post with the dirt flying is simply awesome. While your original post is a winner in my book this one is even better! Love it. #7756486Ellen H. Robertson July 20, 2009
Thanks Debbie, your shots from the ranch are great, she is going to love them. Have fun on your trips.Anthony L. Mancuso July 23, 2009
