The race is on!

Horse beats vehicle by a nose!

Jockey profile

The whip and a wary eye

FYI, these were taken at what is called Thoroughbred Park on the East entrance to downtown...it also has fountains where the kids can play......We are all about horses and basketball around here!

Nicely done, Patrick! This is certainly a good lesson on capturing a subject from many different perspectives.

Oh my! Great job. Love all the different perspectives. I found myself going "Come on, Come on, RUN RUN RUN"

Great job on all the different views, really like that last shot.

I agree Patrick. You really nailed it with the different perspectives. Exposure is also spot on! Good work!

Nice job patrick, these are all excellent shots. The first one looks like a real race

Aww man, I really didn't shoot with that in mind....I just wanted to capture the details to show the gang....now I'll have to go back down another day to choose just one horse and shoot about 30 shots covering all the perspectives.....sounds like a good project to me

Thanks...I like that last one too personally but wish it was a bit lighter.

We tend to have alot of that sort of stuff around here and around the South in general. I have lived out West in California and Seattle and have noticed a lack of these types of displays.....San Jose?? Well they could build a statue of some software!?? Ha!
