Comments/Critiques on these, please?

Just looking for some input... these are just small uploads of a couple shots, shot on film, scanned, and small border added for internet purposes... let me know what you think.

PS: I do know about the technicalities of having a moving/running object in the left of the frame (see shot 2), but I ignored it for this one, as he was ahead of the pack, but does it still work? I can't decide.

    1 is your best. Good lighting, composition and you stopped the action.

    #2 - I know that there are times when rules should be broken, and I would have given you that on this one only if I could have seen those other horses behind it.

    Without them, the image looks unbalanced to me. The mind needs to know why there is all that space. With the negative space there, a left set rules of thirds just seems like the right choice.

    #3 - I just don't like the lighting. I like the composition, but the shadows could have been pulled out a bit more by either using fill flash or bringing the shadows up in post processing.

    Great job with the first one! Looks like a pro took it. You should enter it in a contest. The second one is good but I would agree that it should have been to the left of the frame. Either way its still a great pic. With the 3rd one Id suggest you just be aware of your flash in dark places. Perhaps get a pop up flash diffuser (I got on super cheap on ebay) or an SB-400/SB-600 flash depending on what camera you have. Great job!

    Answer mine please?
