Nice variety of shots plangereis. I like the way that you captured the horses in motion and my favourite of the set is the third one. You gave it a geat title too and nice blue colours in the water. Thanks for sharing a great set.

The colors (except in the B&W, of course) are very nice. And I like the casual, everyday moment captured in your first photo.

Love the lean of the horses coming around the corner. I can feel the power.

Thanks Dave. The girl kept following this guy that day, hence the title.

I found the first photo interesting as I never thought parents would bring their kids to a race track. I kept thinking were the little girls with the race schedules picking horses for their parents?

I wished I had a longer lens that day so I could get closer to the jockeys. Thanks for the kind comments

Thank you Kaze. I also loved the colours in this one and they were basically SOOC. I just played with contrast and sharpened a bit.

Hi Paul - nice variety of photos you have here .. I love the water image - it's kinda hard to walk in the water with your flip fops on .. great composition on the horses around the bend .. very well done

Quality pictures, the race course looks fun, did you have a bet or pick the winner. My winner is the third picture. I love the water and the couple paddling through it, great movement and colours Paul and it looks like it was a beautifully sunny and warm day, roll on summer again

Thanks Hayward. Every time I look at this shot I keep thinking about my youth, and the summer days I used to spend in the USA at our cabin. Had a great time with the Americans that lived in Point Roberts. Lots of crazy parties!

Thanks Steve. I actually did well that evening. I think I ended up ahead about $4-$6 (Canadian, of course)! For me that was good as I usually walk away behind about the same amount or more! The water shot took me awhile to figure out how I wanted to crop it. I am finally getting a focus screen with a permanent grid on it so it will hopefully mean less cropping etc later. I really don't like cropping as I keep thinking you lose resolution and frame real estate. Take care.
