I haven't been racing today! by seanoneill

I haven't been racing today!

....but I did take this picture today.

So, please don't say wow, how close did you get to the action, and rush to hit the +F button!! Unless you want to do so for the processing and because I made the camera lie.

This is a close up of part of a very large canvas I have on my landing. I have processed with Gaussian Blur, added a bit of blending and colorised and added grain.

All that said, I rather like it!

Very cool!!! I do love the processing!!!

So it's a photo from a photo, crops and edited? Great picture, well done, Sean. Sorry I'll wait with the fav-button until you'll lay down in the grass of the racetrack :o)

@seanoneill Oh a lovely picture Sean & perfect for a racing man!!! I have a little confession to make as when \i first saw this I thought they were cows & then when I saw the racing reference I twigged & of course they are perfect horses.

Love the energy captured in the hoofs... I haven't been to the races in ages, I grew up around it. My daughter went yesterday,I hope she had a great time, well she stayed out all night and still isn't home, so looks like she enjoyed herself.

It makes me certain that I never want to be in the way of a pack of wild brumbies coming at me in the bush! I too like the finished product.
