Thanks HoofClix
Thanks for including me in your top picks (the Bicycle Motocross shot). I have read a lot of posts in Dgrin that encourage us to stick with what we like to do but to stretch one's linits. I have found it difficult (but exciting) as a sports photographer to break into the artistic world of Dgrin. With sports photography, it's all about anticipating a moment and hoping that it happens. I don't get to set up the scene and create perfect lighting. I was happy to see that this contest had a perfect theme, one that suits the seconds and milli-seconds involved in racing and many other sports. I hope that other sports photographers will get involved in these contests as I think there is a great opportunity to learn from the more artistic types here. The photos posted here are awsome and inspiring.
Thanks for the opportunity and for the vote of confidence.

Thank you immensely for including my image among your favorites. I consider it quite an honor. I knew from my first attempts at this competition and the C&C that you left me, that you would hold no punches and tell it like it is. It was one of the reasons I purposely sought your opinion on my second attempt. This is now round 5 for me. I've finally made your favorite's list.
Making your top few truly means a great deal to me....hopefully it's not just there because it's a horse *grins* Again, thank you.
Emily, your very early post caught me right on, and in my opinion, early posts have the potential to get overlooked on "judgment day." They need to be extra good to stand up to the constant reviewing of the thread over the two week period, so I hope you don't think that since it's over there on the edge that it wasn't considered highly!
Heather (and Lynne for that matter), I hope you don't think I chose these just because there was a horse. Each was for what I though the image tried to convey. Heather, yours was because of the technique you were working on. I'm not sure if you were dragging your shudder on this one so much, but the effect was great. Yes, it needed to be timed properly. To catch the capriole, one first has to know it's coming, then know how to time the shot. Phyxius explained what this maneuver is, but that hind-kick is so fast that I'm im pressed you got it. (It's actually a defensive military move used by the cavalry in days of yore!) For Lynne's, it was more mystical quality of the finished shot that caught me. Sure, one has to know how to catch a "4-off" gallop to get it. I'm sure there was more work than most think in this one, as horses aren't just out there frollicking in the pasture all the time. The horse probably needed to be chased and played with a bit. I'm curious on both of these to see some of the out-takes. If you would both be so gracious in a special thread, we could all become enlightened!

Nope, not in this one...was just glad I had my "big" lens (70-200/2.8) with me at dinner that night.

I was ever so glad that they had the horse perform it a SECOND time! I didn't catch it so well the first

Thanks - It was by accident that I caught the "Metrolink" name on the train. But, wow - what fun it was to see it when I downloaded the photo!
