The horse is reallyb outstanding in this picture and I borh like it and unlike it. I´d like if you could see some sharpness on the bar too. Well well anyway I know how hard it is to even get some sharpness on a jumping horse!! So well done!

it is amazing, the effect speed is very good and the rider is very clear. I like also the colors. Well considering.

Excellent, Ayman. Very nice shot, very good work with the camera. You captured the horse and the rider quite well, and you got a good motion blur at the background. Ver very well done.

Intersting results. I really like the colors that your photo has. The long line created by the long exposure gives a very good sense of speed and action. Very well done Ayman.

Photographier en suivant le sujet donne cet effet de vitesse sur l'arrière plan. La composition est parfaite, on suit avec plaisir cet effet de mouvement.

To photograph while following the subject gives this effect speed on the background. The composition is perfect, we follow this effect of movement with pleasure.

I love the photo Ayman,

Exuses me, that I did saw it earlyer. My thougth over it, when I saw it on the small sise, Oh that's just somebody with a jumping horse, but when I saw the big vieuw, wauw, that's realy speed. Yes I like the composition and the speed on this one. Good job you did.

Stunning shot that should be very hard to to. That very nice to see this blur background and this more sharp horse. Well done!

This ia a brilliant action shot, Ayman. The colourful motion is excellent, and yet you have also captured some good detail on the rider and the horse. Very well done.

a great action shot, the slow shutter speed show us the movement very well. a great moment from you panning. Great shot and Well done.

This one came out great, Ayman. The technique you describe in your note created this blurry (yet instantly recognizable) background which suggests a great sense of movement. The posture of both horse and rider suggests a high amount of focus. Splashy colors, and composition-wise it's great to have some space on the right for horse and rider to move into. Well done.

Excellent capture of the motion!
And all those different colors around the horse and the rider are wonderful.
Very well done!

perfect shot and timing Ayman, very nice work!

Clochette (8076) 2004-03-21 10:17

Very good action capture, the movement is well rendered thanks to the low shutter speed. Something I'd like to experiment..

shadi_atos (403) 2004-03-21 17:37

Very very great timing Ayman, great shot the speed effect is so nice well done

zto (292) 2004-03-22 12:59

Very well done Ayman. It's just sharp enough to let us almost see the details but blurry enough to let us feel the speed and make it intresting.
Great job.
