Good action shot. I like the composition and the light on the horse and darkened background. Well done.

Congratulations on your top ten finish in a toughly competitive challenge. FYI, I didn't suspect the blur was added in PP, but then again I wasn't examining edges closely. Remains one of my challenge favorites.

So? Are you going to sell your DSLR? :-) Personally, I like what you did in PP, and it appears by your score and comments that others did as well. Congrats on the 7+ and high placing!

Great action shot! Lighting and colors are wonderful in this capture - love the sheen on the horse. Great details in this one too. We see the roughness of the calves hide and the flying hairs of the horse's mane as well as the flecks of dirt being thrown up. I also like how you also took the shot that shows the face's and/or facial expressions of all the major characters of this shot - either one or two could have turned such that all we see is the back of the head but here all three either have a full facial view or a side profile. What also makes this a strong action photo is that the scene is not overly busy that the main action & subjects do not get lost in it. This roundup has a visually pleasing backdrop with green trees and green grasslands beyond the fencing. It is relatively uncluttered. The backdrop is in varying degrees out of focus so that it will not distract from the main action going on but rather compliment it. My only critique is that I am not overly fond of the letterbox movie style border on the sides. I think the composition would remain strong without it.
