Wonderful mid-stride capture Douglas. If you have any canvas left maybe a bit more in frontso it's less centred??

cheers

I like your nice low angle on this stilt. He appears to be on the move and you have stopped the motion well. I would like to see it a bit less centered.

I like the low angle, DOF, catch light, and nice detail in the whites.
