[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another shot from the Floors Horse Trials this shows the horse and rider absolutely focused on the next part of the hazard which is a hedge about two strides from the edge. I have been to a lot of these days but I think this is the best so far every horse and rider was immaculately turned out and a pure joy to watch.

Excellent action shot Jon! I love your processing here! Very colorful! The comp is well balanced with the horse and rider going INTO the shot! Nice details here too!

Wow, Jon,
that is some spectacular light and color. Outstanding exposure, too - nothing is OE or overly shadowed. The composition and detail are superb also and I love the way you caught them coming up that small hill. Great job! Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

Hi Jon,
You managed to take quite a nice action shot! I think sharpness is not excellent, but regarding the speed and circumstanes, it's pretty good. What I more like, is really the expression of emotion on the face of the rider, this is a great image to present the hardness of that sport. I like the high saturation of colours and brightness as well. TFS!
Best regards,
Kristof

another nice action shot Jon good timing and details
regards bryan

Hey Jonny:) The colors are really vivid and the outstanding feature of this shot. And I love the intensity and focus in the horse and rider. Good job!
Have a good weekend.

Jon, wonderful capture of action and more so dramatic by including the people watching. One minor suggestion. I might have cropped out the guy on the left side of the photo leaning against the port-o-potty. Otherwise, GREAT SHOT!!

Hi Jon,
You certainly got the weather for it as well - nice action shot showing the intensity and concentration on the riders face, good choice to keep a bit of space in front to show where they are moving in to. Colours and DoF perfect. TFS
Bri

Hello Jon, earnestness is the emotion I think[?]
A good PoV as the rider comes through.And I like to see all the spectators in the bg.
Once again you have managed the speed very well with no obvious blurring.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hello,
Stunning shot of action!
Great POV, lovely colours.

Hello Jon,
good shot of the horse, detailed & sharp; I would have preferred a blurred BG, but is a particular.
Ciao, Elena
