Hi Pierre,
A very diff pic from what I have come to expect from you except for the motion blur..which is a constant. A very compelling picture..love the colours juxtaposed against the pattern of white steps...but most of all I love the energy and action in this shot.One of my favs from ur gallery.
Great work.

Perfect timing and u have a very good reflex.The panning effect is executed wonderfully and the green background looks dramatic.

A nice action shot of this image which seems to be associated with Pakistan quite a lot. I love the clarity of the rider, and everything around him is motion blurred.
Works great!

This is an excellent shot, very well done. Would have loved to meet when you were in Pakistan. anyways, you have captured the action very well

Il faut ouvrir l'image pour en voir toute sa beauté... Couleurs superbes, dynamisme et précision à la fois,
Bravo et bon weekend !
En attendant avec curiosité ta prochaine photo,
Amitiés,
Catherine

Salut Pierre
Considering the speed of the horse, and the man approaching the ground so rapidly, you have done as well as possible with good timing.

Good panning
Excellent result
Good composition
Good colors too
