The Hunt? Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is the second shot of a hunt that set off from Gargrave (Yorkshire dales).
From what I could gather they were riding to a local pub some miles away and were not actually out to hunt as such.

Nice compo Stephen!Well balanced with the one in the middle in the foreground,and in the background one on the left and one on the right.I`m not a big friend of hunting anyway but if they were only hunting for a pub,that´s okay with me.

I like the cross that form the three riders in red and the horse in foreground in front which looks to be a little nervous. I hope you were not injured.

How typically British! I was surprised by the striking colors, and the vividness of this image. Very nice picture.

I really like the composition of this one with the three riders making a triangle and mostly the front rider looking away and the horse looking at you (a little out of focus though. I do miss the nice dogs in the first photo. Hunting for a pub huh? that could be as dangerous as hunting if they take too much beer ..

Echoing Nina's critique...
What ISO did you use here? Have you used Neat Image?

I like the way the three are placed in this view. They seem somewhat lost, too, in their hunt for the pub. The one on the left seems to be looking out ahead while this one checks in your direction and sees if he has seen anything. And the person on the right seems to be coming back to report no sign of the pub in that direction. The textures of the horse hair are really well captured, too. And a noise from the horse as it moves its head. Another good shot with a bit of a humorous feel to it, also.
