Gosh! You have caught the frosty, pure atmosphere so well here, Karen. The colors, in this light are lovely and you have captured the action so well.The composition works well, with the strong horizontal and the action placed the the right of center. regards kevin

Hi Karen,
Good framing and placement of horse and rider, i like the fact the horse is almost not touching the ground, giving dynamism. Nice colors.

Hello Karen,

Nice freezing of the action here. The rider seem to be going fast on the horse. Details are good as are the colours. I really like this type of shots, perhaps because I like horses, and you did very well composing a nice image. This remind that the Calgary Stampede is coming up soon.

Hi Karen

A good sports action & decisive moment shot with excellent sharpness on the horse, & good motion blur on the bg. Good to leave plenty of room for the horse / rider to move into, & not have it dead centre. Tfs!

Hi Karen!

A beatiful scene, great timing in pushing the button and capturing the action, but you also took good care of the composition and the framing! Congratulations!

Well done Karen
You have the horse and rider nice and sharp and well placed in the scene such that there is more room in front to ride into.
Good saturation of colours.

You have done very well with your action shot. The horse has 3 legs off the ground and you composed the image so there is plenty of space in front of the horse.
Well done

hello Karen,
I've been around horses since I was 12, owned two at some point, but with work that demants constant change of countries (even continents) of residence I could not keep them. now I really miss horseback riding, so I enjoy your photo a lot :) it perfectly captures the joy of speed and wind-in-the-face feeling, I like it a lot. the slight motion blurr adds to the sense of movement, but I think I'd crop quite radically from top and bottom - I think more panoramic format might make the photo even more powerful. but that's a minor point, this still is a great action shot.

with best regards,
Kristine

Nice profile here. It looks like the horse is more clear than the background and foreground which suggests some mild panning that worked well for the image.

Dear Karen,
in this shot, I can feel the most high speed in your Riding Lessons series. and surrounding trees, houses, fences and gorund are well captured in it.
the postures of this horse and riding girl make me feel the speed and the wind or the air there.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Karen, Good action sports photo. The subject is well positioned with more room ahead than behind the horse. The rider is clearly focussed.TFS. Murray.
