This was one of many shots I took of this particular carousel. The shot was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be due to the horses not traveling in a straight line and moving up and down. I chose this one because the focus was perfectly centered on the horses head and nothing else which draws the eye to the main subject of the photo. Overall I'm pretty pleased with this shot. I hope you enjoy it too!

This was a good thought, maybe focusing on the whole subject could help, not just the head of the horse

It is interesting that you chose the horse head as the subject. I would normally not think of that first, but it really works well for this.

The horse head is nice and sharp. The overall composition is not particularly interesting for me. Perhaps try zooming out to capture more of the horse (since it is the subject that is in focus) or try following the people instead of the horse. Godd technique with the pan.

would have rather seen the people stopped not the horse head.

Very nice. I wish there were a larger area in focus.

Nice picture, but I wish the people were in focus instead of the horse.

Good sense of motion, it almost makes me dizzy.

I wish their faces are sharper.

putting the horses head off center would have made for a better composition
