You did a great job on this one Jon. Great timing on your part ... love the outstretched front legs of the horse and it prepares to enter the water!! Love the space in front of horse and rider .. for them to ride into. Colors are great. Excellent job.
Looks like a windy day, judging by the grass and people's blowing hair.

Hi Jon,
So - you made it to the water jump to... Nice shot, the subject is well in focus and the colours are superb. I love how the light and shadow is showing the horses muscle definition on the shoulder and flanks and the riders face deep in concentration. If you are anything like me you will have an awful lot of pfotographs to sort through from the weekend! TFS and take care.

Very nicely captured shot Jon, frozen perfectly with the high shutter speed. Great natural colours with this one, especially from the sun reflecting off the horse's eye-catching skin. Well composed too, giving the horse enough room to move into after the jump. Well done mate.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Jon, a perfect POV,you captured the action of the rider well with great clarity & detail I'm surprised your DOf did not create some blurring in the background to give a little feeling of the Jockey's speed .
Well seen & captured.
Regards

Hi Jon,
Very nicely timed, we can see the horse has cleared the fence with his hind legs.
I do wonder if the horses really enjoy this type of jump. It's bad enough when we step off a curb without seeing the drop.
Well captured,
Peter.
