Hi Bryan,
The vinget layor is more subtle on this shot and blends in well, the B&W works well with this but to tell the truth I am a fan of B&W. You have caught the rider in a nice position over the jump. TFS
Bri

Hi Bryan
Nice B/W mode for this shot, good PP works but not perfect freezing of horse, I don't know how much is your shutter speed so I have no idea about this.

Think this is your best shot Bryan, but think if it had been me I would have cropped it just to show the rider and the fence.

Seems quite pixelated too, was going to do a workshop but when I cropped it it was really bad. Think the file size must be really small.

But the work you have done and the composition work very well.

Hey Bryan, how are you? I really like this one. Great job to convert to B&W. I'm not usually a huge fan of vignetting, but in this case it does a great job of highlighting the rider. Real nice brightness around the rider. Again, your timing was spot on! Great job!

Hi Bryan
I like the B&W effect, the composition is good. An A for the catch.

You seem to have oversharpen to try and get rid of the blur.
Enhancing the vignette would really have made the rider stand out more, and would also have gotten rid of the effect the oversharpening cause and also hide the car and the bit of fence.
Dot

Bryan, you have created a wonderful mood by photoshopping this photo to its final product. One suggestion. While you were working in Photoshop you could easily have taken out the vehicle in the background. It really detracts from the mood and visual of the photograph. With that done, great photo!!!
