This is a great photo. It would have also scored high with me in the stopped motion competition.

Great subject. Not happy with composition though. Probably should have moved the camera over about 1/3 a frame. Cut off the horses tail and ass, there is nothing really going on there, and the tail is more of a distraction. Put empty space in the direction your subject is moving. In your picture the horse and rider is going to fall out of the frame. The image could also be a little sharper.

I like your choice of synonyms for your title...

Much better action shot than a person shot. Technically clean shot, could be a slight bit lighter in the face.

Good catch, I love the concentration on her face, and the photo is nicely framed by the hurdles. This would've also done well in the stop-motion challenge.

my wife spends an absolute fortune on her horse then I have to sort out her credit card bill. I HATE HORSES !!!!!!! Photo ain`t bad though.

Focus as in -out of?

Wow, great shot. Stopped the action well, but subject's face is too dark. I can't think of any way to better the shot, so no downgrading.

Very nice! Good composition though I think the tight cropping gives somewhat of a static look.

Great action shot. I like the DOF, the angle and the fact that you can see the motion of the horse's front legs.

Nice job! Great action photo!

good shot - colours could benefit from a bit of work in photoshop to stretch the contrast/ add some saturation, maybe ? Well framed action shot.

Excellent photograph. The expression you captured on the riders face is wonderful. I would not change a thing.

Beautiful horse. You can see the tension on both their faces. Considering the horse can't see where it's going and the young rider is anxious about the outcome it's a good story and "rule of thirds" shot. It is a bit too dark though.

Good color, good action. Nice job.
05/27/2002 02:16:00 PM
Nice Action shot. Good focus. I would have like'd a little more head room for the horse.
05/27/2002 01:58:00 PM
Great action! The expression on the rider's face is great, but unfortunately my eye is drawn to the horse's face and mane. I hope she did well in this show! Her form looks good!

nice motion shot
05/27/2002 09:05:00 AM
girls make that face when they ride me, too
05/27/2002 09:00:00 AM
Nice action. Too bad the kid's face wasn't a little clearer.
05/27/2002 02:45:00 AM
Very nice showjumping photo. Dappled grey horses always photograph well :). The rider's expression is definitely one of 'focus'. The colours just seem a little bit dim though.

I think I'd have preferred the horizontal composition, leaving some room for the horse and rider to "jump into".
