Horse racing
Came across this shot that I took in Barbados on Boxing day 2008, I like the DOF and the look on the jockeys & the horses but wish I had a better position, for space in front of the leading horse (someone's head got in the way.
So given that this is one of the best I have to work with what do you guys think? Shall I crop it a bit or is it okay as is?

Good composition, I wouldn't crop it any at all. It is on the dark side, you could try to bring up the midtones in photoshop.

this is a fantastic capture!! the lighting really accentuates the colors of the jockey silks and the nosebands, my only critique is how dark it is, but that can probably be fixed pretty easily

Nice shot
I would crop it like this so there is no horse in front since you didn't get the whole horse there (too bad!). I used took out the back leg with the white bandage and also brightened it up a touch by running levels in PS.

I did the same thing
I got a very similar shot to yours and I think it looks better cropped. I only wish there was more track between the lead horse and the others the dirt flying gives it away.

W0w, the horses.look like they are coming off the page! I am not sure which way to go with the crop, but it seems to me that the color saturation is a tad overdone. Those silks are practically glowing like they are radioactive.
