team before race

This is the first photo on PN that has made me want to get out my art history books to review epic painting in the 19th century. It is simply wonderful. The composition has terrific balance with the horses on the left as a counterpoint for the standing figures on the right. The boys in the center provide a connection between the two groups, and since they are not placed dead center, they make the overall scene dynamic. Look how the figures in the background spread out so that the weight of their images complements and balances the foreground figures! The color is harmonious and consistent throughout. This moment is all about the action about to take place.

Whether you staged the scene or found it in front of you, it is a great example of photographic art. Good work.

Very good, I like the mood and colors, super shot, Amir.
