La Piazza di Siena, a photo from Rome, Lazio

Photographer's Note

La Piazza di Siena : Sienne était le lieu d'origine de la famille Borghese. La place fut projetée par le prince Marcantonio Borghese à la fin du XVIIIe s. : il voulait créer un lieu ressemblant à la Piazza del Campo de Sienne où ont lieu le Palio et autres réjouissances populaires. Elle a toujours cette fonction puisque tous les ans s'y déroulent des manifestations hippiques. Elle est dominée par la belle Casina dell' Orologio, initialement maison du jardinier de la villa.

Hello Serge,
I didn't know there were horse shows like this in the center of Rome. You probably took this from a safe distance with a good lens, or you could have been knocked down by the horse. The feeling of being close nevertheless makes the photo quite dramatic. You also managed very good sharpness.
Regards,
Gert

Bonjour Serge,

Tu as bien capturé l'action du cheval. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du cavalier et du cheval. La lumière met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

A very dramatic shot. I would love you could have taken it either with a wider lens (so the whole horse was in the frame) or with a tighter crop, to focus in the animal's face. Nevertheless this is a great action photograph.

Salut Serge.

Serge, you captured perfectly the horse going to jump the obstacle. The way it retracts its front legs is impressive, it is the result of months of practice with its rider. Fine colors, good sharpness, interesting photo note, amitié.

Hello

Et oui quand ils vont fonde c'est aussi magique mais aussi très dangereux il faut un bon casque et ils sont pointus, il être prudent.
Quelle image en mouvement déclenchement excellent ce deux patte du cheval avec les deux bottes du cavaliers cette crinière et la tête il font corps c'est splendide
Bravo et belle journée
Nicou

Bonjour, cher Serge,
Bravo pour la prise de vue de toute beauté (l'on a l'impression de partager le saut du cavalier et de son cheval qui fait corps).
Très bien.
Amitiés.

Hello Serge,

A superb decisive moment shot capturing the horse with its legs tucked safely away close to its body as it clears the steeplechase. Good sharpness and I like the flattened perspective from the zoom lens. Tfs!

Hello Sergio, Interesting composition. It seems that the horse in a moment jumps into you. Original capture.
