Very good capture taken in the warmup ring. Glad to see the super-correct posture and like that I can even see that the horse is a splinter-belly :-) Good framing with the jump standards. Fantastic light on the horse
I can see why some find the towers distracting but as it was a Basic challenge there wasn't much else you could do. Like the b/w, I suspect those nasty ol towers are red and white.
Good work! Do you know who the horse and rider are?
Another top scoring photo. Riding or jumping, that is the question is it not. I love the washed out background except for the distracting upright white columns. My favorite part is the clear darkness and shadows on the horse. Earlier I was thinking of horse jumping being in one of the challenge entries. Yours is just perfect and a strong 8 for me. Thanks.
