Took this shot while hanging over the fence. I had my 70-300mm lens out as far as I could to try and capture the intensity of the group.
Selective cropping to remove the lead horse's back hoofs.
Had my WB set to sunshine, so I only needed a little bit of levels adjustment.
Used some Master color saturation to bring out the colors more.
My old lens is slow, so I needed some sharpening on this one.

8 - Good capture. Good colors. Good 'dirt'. Criticism; sharper angle, tighter crop (to utilize the blue fencing only), slightly richer colors, would make this a better photograph for me.
Some CA probably from a cheap lens at the long end of the zoom. Also worked too much for my liking - oversaturated colours. Nice action shot though, and well cropped.
