What lens did you use?
Also, shutter/ISO/apertures? |

| That second one is a great shot, first one is too, except for the roof in the backround. Third one the light is a bit flat and the angle leaves you too close to see the set of the hindquarters and too far to get expression. These are sweet, got more? |

I've got to agree with Brennan. The first two are just wondeful. The roof in the first is a drab background, unfortunately. And they both seem a little bit too light in contrast in the background. But - shat makes these photographs work so well for me are the expressions on both the riders' faces. Especially the male - what a fantastic expression. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. Great shots - really love the hell out of 'em! A tiny little fraction of a moment absolutely nailed down with your camera. Awesome!

| Excellent work - the first two are very good captures. The third has a bit of an issue that the sky is fairly blown out. The best solution to this is to shoot in -1/3 or -2/3 Ev. I hardly ever shoot above -1/3 for outdoor horse events, normally because I'm focusing on the horse itself, which will tend to be quite dark. |

All of these are great shots. Definitely moneymakers!
I've been trying to do Western and English pleasure riding events and I think what people don't realize is that it's very very hard to isolate the horse and rider and still have a nice background. You've done an excellent job. |
