Quoting Brody Allen Classic DAS style but still impressive

Quoting Nick Barrett Superb; it deserves it's fives.

Quoting Marc dZ You're at the top of your art!!

Quoting David ~UberBricks Awesome!

Quoting Jon Blackford Your best yet I think! Apart from the well crafted silhouettes, the sense of movement is great. I think Socrates would have approved :)

Quoting David Roberts Absolutely a classic. My favourite of all of your silhouettes, supplanting James Bond. I think that you've got the shape of the horses very well indeed and horses are tricky to get right. A really impressive build.

Quoting Kevin J. Walter Score = 5

Quoting Finn tegotash The horses are amazing!

Quoting Golden Knight lovely job !>.....well done

Quoting Greyson Beights With a monochrome build, you can't get much better than this. Score: 5

Quoting Chris Phipson Score of 5 ~ Chris.

Quoting Mark McPeek Absolutely Brilliant! You continue to amaze me!

Quoting Stephen Boe The silhouettes and shaping of the figurines look amazing!

Quoting silly productions Great build but at first glance, the main picture looks like the two horses are having a bit too much fun if you cath my drift haha, excuse my immature humor. Anyways I love the 3D shot and that wheel looks fantastic, great work. -Silly

Quoting Lando L. Jackson This is spectacular! The build is very well done, and you made a very good choice of subject matter.

Quoting Justin Knelsen Great build! Awesome to see a bit more of a 3D look to this style of build. A very strong score of 4.

Quoting Marty Fields Unique and very clever.

Quoting Matthew Oh Wow David Alexander Smith, I am stunned. This is amazing, I don't know where to start, you achieve so much detail with a flat, monotone build, and your negative space use is perfect! Score = 5!

Quoting Stephan N as I have to your Moc's said this type: Art

Quoting cyberfrank 2010 very nicely shaped and sculpted!

Quoting JWG 258 Definitely a strong contest entry.

Quoting Topsy Creatori (StoveTopCreator!) Of course, I am going to love this one… horses! But, it is the way you have designed them that is spot on! #1 Your steady horse is on the left(left brain logic), your excitable horse is on the right(right brain passion). #2 Now a fully engaged obedient (on the bit) dressage horse will have a rounded topline and an elevated, elegantly, curved neckline, but even a properly ridden dressage horse’s topline will sway with age. So, the topline of the steady horse conveys that he has learned his lessons/gained his wisdom thru life’s hard knocks. Most appropriate! #3 Now, the steady horse’s neck position connotes that he is indeed engaged on the bit, but preparing for that of a lengthened canter position… perhaps to run for his life? Interesting! #4 Now the heads of the horses are a tad different in shape. The excitable one has a head of the (and my favorite) English Thoroughbred. The steady one has a head of a Holsteiner or even a Lipizanner! Although different… all are NOBLE! I only hope that humans will someday obtain the nobility of the horse!!! #5 And finally, those Greeks… they studied everything! It was even a Greek, Xenophan, who wrote the first book on horsemanship that is still a must read for all true equestrians today! David, you have a real winner with this one, I hope the judges can truly appreciate it!!! :)

Quoting Alex Sonny Really beautiful. You should take photos at low light and then edit them so the seams between bricks couldn't be seen :D

Quoting Graham Gidman Fantastic work!

Quoting Joonmin . Wow you are really good at this!

Quoting MCLegoboy ! Nice. I recently took a Greek and Roman History Course. I loved the philosophy stuff, things that just makes your brain go mad. A thought just occured to me. You tend to use a lot of black. If you have enough clean white, have you ever considered doing something with a black backround and use white bricks?

Quoting Alex Rode No one does it better! Such fantastic piece usage to portray the scene - great work!

Quoting Tim C Well, how perfect is that? David is REQUIRED to build a monochromatic MOC. Hahaha, I love it. Okay, to the build. I'm thinking this is my favorite of your silhouette work, or any of your artistic works, and may be my favorite of your entire body of work, (though "Luke and Vader," "Darth Maul," and "Black and White 'Batman at the Graveside'," give it a run for its money). There's so much expression in this work. You were able to bring life to the struggle of your subject with a simple freeze-framed gesticulation. The lean and the outstretched arm animate this beautifully. You can almost see a grimace on his featureless face. The horses are also done well. An unmistakable shape with an almost iconographical feel to it. How you are able to add so much feeling to a work while adding virtually nothing inside the outline will always be beyond me. Superb work, David, and good luck going forward in the MOCathalon.

Quoting El Barto ! I'm with Matt, the detail and the action portrayed is dramatic! Good luck with the judges!

Quoting Tom Amey Forget your best silhouette, this it MOCpages best silhouette! The contrast between the obedient horse and the rampant horse is fantastic and you did a great job with horses' postures. Horses are difficult to draw, let alone do with LEGO! Well done, and good luck!

Quoting matt rowntRee I'm speechless. Seriously one of, if not the, best silhouettes you've done. The neck extension on the noble horse is positively stunning in translating the idea of obedience. But I have to say that the rampant horse steals the show with fantastic motion and strength. I love the driver's strain. But the piece de resistance is of course your mastery of negative space. The illusion of the "second" color is proof that you completely understand, and are apparently writing the book on, monochrome builds. I'm with Clayton, they should name this category after you. Masterpiece!

Quoting Cheryl P Excellent build. I like how the wheels give this a little dimensionality. Black was a good color to use. You can't go wrong there. I'm a tan person.

Quoting Daniel Calleri This makes me want to separate the big pile into colors just so I can have a go at the shadow form! Very cool indeed!!

Quoting clayton Marchetti Positively brilliant! I think this is my favorite after the Batman at the graveyard. What an awesome description of our struggle in life. I really love the way you made the rampant horse wild, and the other horse in perfect stride . I like how the charioteer is holding on for dear life! A truly inspiring piece! They should name this challenge after you .

Quoting Gerald F. This is splendid! You've given this entry a great backstory to go with it as well. I bet that once you saw the monochrome category you immediately knew what to build. Hahha good luck! Keep On Brickin'!

Quoting MortalSwordsman . Wow David you have excelled yourself this time. Stunning

Quoting Abby Francis Ahhh! David! Its amazing! You are a fantastic builder!

Quoting sam the first Your best silhouette yet...stunning...
