Hi,

I'm a newbie photographer and here's a pic I took recently. I found it quite difficult working with a moving subject.
All comments welcome.

Some great action caught here and well-exposed. My criticism is that I do not really like the branches in front. I dont' know your camera's capabilities, but a closer zoom of the action would have made this a superb shot. Alternatively, I would crop into just the horse as it makes a better central focal point than that in the hound. A valiant effort though! Go out there and shoot some more... welcome to photography!

With pleasure,
Lee

Topic and action are good, I would like to see more horse and less branches. Bet this was a fun scene to watch.

Yeah it was cool. Every year on the day after Christmas day there's a hunt. One little guy fell off his horse! A bunch of horses went thru a deep channel of water. That was v cool!
