[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On 1993 I joined as a photographer to an expedition, who crossed Asia by driving from Tokio- Japan to Odesa USSR (17,000 km). The mission was to bring the first Isuzu cars from Japan to Israel.
One of the most beautiful places on the way, was an Oigur aria between the mountains in west China. The people there live in Yortes and have big herds of horses.

Very good action shot, precisely focused. The boy made a great model as well, the fact that he looked right at you made the image so much better.

Hi Eyal, greta picture of this boy, the way he laughs at you, is really great, you catured it well. And you managed to get the exact moment, just before he enters the shade.
How about the tilt, did you leave it this way on purpose, or didn't you care?

Nice picture. The guy seems to lose his balance? or he was galloping.
Well done Eyal.

Great and special shot - The combination of an amazing landscape - a moving horse and a smiling boy which dosen't seams to care about riding - a real scoop - thanks for sharing Eyal - Special light/shadow as well.

I think it's a very good picture, despite the lack of balance between the shadow and the lit areas. This lack of balance actually makes it a much more interesting frame, and judging from the picture it looks like you didn't have much of a choice anyway.

Fantastic photo, good light and composition and of course timing!

Good action shot, very sharp!
