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.

An impressive different straight on face-to-face viewpoint of great action shot putting more emphasis on the horse. Love this jump because of the expression on his face while clearing the fence. This is a cracker very precisely well timed, Congrats

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.

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.

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!
