 I hope that people understand this, but I have a slight hunch they won't.
The thing of it is, that with this breed, the legs move so fast,but the body contains a smooth ride, which makes it in this picture that the body is really the only thing in focus. Hm. Still dont think anyone will understand. As long as I am not dead last..

For processing, It was shot in an arena so every thing was pretty dark. So I edited lvls, contast and color, as well a brightness.

the image does not seem to have a clear focal point

I like the feeling of movement but chopping the head was not the best idea.

not sure cropping of heads and horses legs improve shot

this image is blury and choppy, where is the subject
 05/12/2007 03:33:56 PM
poor framing and focus
 05/12/2007 01:22:38 PM
Out of focus, heads chopped off, colors are bland, too tight of a crop, but does meet challenge. Better luck next time : )

too much motion blur. unfortunately no subject is fully visible (head full oder partly cropped)
 05/11/2007 03:17:16 AM
i dont like how the heads are cut off
 05/10/2007 05:18:28 PM
I don't know exactly which is the main subject here, I would prefer to have the head of the rider.

almost lost your point of focus on this shot, good motion, nice color contrast, unique perspective and cropping
 05/10/2007 12:52:13 AM
too bad nothing is in the frame: neither horses nor the riders
 05/09/2007 09:32:44 PM
Er....um....do you always cut the heads off?
 05/09/2007 02:34:23 PM
this is all out of focus
 05/09/2007 11:48:40 AM
The lighting in this image is kind of dull. And a little bit out of focus. Nice try thhough.
 05/09/2007 09:58:50 AM
a faster shutter speed would have helped you stop the action ... the motion blur hurts my eyes
 05/09/2007 08:01:28 AM
Hummm Cropped heads? OOF?
 05/09/2007 03:58:38 AM
the first thing i see is the sign on the fence behind the rider. it seems low light has caused you trouble with this shot and for me the motion is just too ditracting. 5
