Wow! Great capture. I love the implication of power and confidence in the tack sharp face surrounded by motion blur...background, muscles, and rider.

This is an incredible shot! A top 20 in my opinion. A bit shorter DOF and a little less noise in the background would bump this up quite a bit.

Saw this in the 'most fav'ed thread'. Wow, beautiful capture. Love how you captured the flow of the waves and the splashes which show a moment frozen in time. The duotones also compliment the scene with calling attention to the contrasts (shading of light & dark) and also heightening our awareness on the textures/shapes (the horse's coat and folds of the dress & curves of the waves)

it's the horse's expression that says most - he looks really hacked off

Beautifully shot...great blankness to the background to make the main subject stand right out...great stock shot look to it which should do well in here. IMHO, this just lacks something to make me go "wow" other than technical ability
