Hi Nadeem,

Welcome to TE and sincerest hopes that you and your family stay safe during this time of strife in Pakistan.

I really enjoy this image. Your panning looks perfect to my eye. You've captured outstanding motion blur yet the rider's face, torso and hand are all perfectly frozen. His intense concentration gives this image a great deal of impact for me. The horse and rider are slightly off center leaving plenty of room in the direction of movement (which adds to the sensation). I think this is excellent and I hope you get lots of attention. Be patient here on TE as it sometimes takes a bit of time to get noticed initially. I for one am impressed.

Cheers!

Bob G.

Great action shot! You really nailed this, as the man on the horse is very clear and sharp, while the background is blurred, making him stand out very well by the contrast. This also has the effect of giving a great impression of speed or motion, so that he appears to be moving very fast. Excellent work! Welcome to TE and I hope we get to see a lot more photos from you!

Bonjour Nadeem,
Bienvenue sur TE avec cette très belle image fort bien réalisée et très artistique!
Une pensée également pour le Pakistan, qui vit des heures tragiques. J'espère que la sagesse orientale fera en sorte qu'une solution soit trouvée afin de mettre fin à la violence qui ravage ton beau pays.
Amitiés et meilleures pensées de Suisse.

Hello Nadeem -

Welcome to TE Nadeem. This is a top notch, spot on image. Your panning technique is perfect with the subject, his lance, and the horses' head sharply in focus and the movement of horse and background blurred to perfection. Exposure and other technical details appear to be where they belong. Bravo, well done!

Thank you for sharing.

Hi Nadeem,

Fantastic start to your journey on TE, I hope you stick around as this first shot certainly displays your talents behind the camera. Great panning action, and the stillness of the rider almost leaps at me from the screen. Part of me wishes you had a slightly wider shot, showing us more space on the right hand side, to suggest some even more faster movement, but nothing wrong as it is now.

Hello Nadeem,
This is a fantastic shot and a superb display of technical skills on your panning technique. I am very sorry for all of the tragedy that your country is going through right now. I pray that the chaos subsides sometime soon. I am looking forward to viewing more of your images!

Dear Nadeem,

What else one can expect from the great panning shot, it is damned perfect. The blur created in this phot says "speed". And the expression on the face of pegger is simply amazing. Contrast, sharpness and composition all wonderful. We'll love to see your more work.

Take care

Irfan
