 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.

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

poor framing and focus

Out of focus, heads chopped off, colors are bland, too tight of a crop, but does meet challenge. Better luck next time : )

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

a faster shutter speed would have helped you stop the action ... the motion blur hurts my eyes

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
