 I last shot horse jumping almost a year ago. I learnt a lot last time. Learnt even more this time.
I continue to try and develop a varied repertoire of techniques to help me shoot anything, anywhere. Still got along way to go, but it's a fun journey.
Hope you enjoy this capture.

Cool. The tonality seems a bit off here think it is do to a wee bit over exposing.

Is this a new equestrian event where the rider takes off a layer each time they go around ??

As events go you could be onto a winner here :- )

p.s. silliness aside - magnificent horse and great timing.

Have a hard time seeing the fence theme in this capture. A great capture though.

It's a nice shot, but I'd like more contrast between the rider/horse and background.

I believe you caught just the right moment. A touch more contrast I think would greatly improve the image.

Call me sophomoric but my eye is drawn straight to the rider's chest. I'm thinking that was not your intention here!?!

Great expression (on both subjects, lol), but the fence itself seems oversharpened.

There is something strong and alluring about this photo. Perhaps it is the look of concentration and focus in spite of the somewhat carefree clothing choice for a top. I like it.
