Another borders festival shot it is the town of Jedburghs time to celebrate there history and hertitage this week this shot Jed Callant Murray Yorston arriving at Redeswire in the hills of the carterbar a brief history of why they ride here is posted below
i resized and slightly sharpened before posting ty for looking


At first the Scots had the worst of it and were being driven in disorder over the scots
side of the hill. They were met by the craftsmen of Jedburgh led by their Provost and
Magistrates -
"Bauld Rutherford he was fou stout
Wi' a' his nine sons him round about
He led the town o' Jedburgh out
All bravely fought that day "

who came, as was their custom, with drums beating and banners flying, and battle cry of
"Jethart's Here " to support the warden. Thus reinforced, the fleeing Scots reformed
their ranks, returned to the fray, and after a struggle put their enemies to flight. The
now victorious Scots persued them into England taking many prisoners, among whom were Sir
John Foster, Francis Russel and Sir Cuthbert Collingwood. They were taken to the
Scottish Regent in Dalkeith who imprisoned them for a few days to give them time to
recover their tempers before setting them free. Carmichael at the request of the English
Parliament was sent to York where he was detained for a few weeks, When it was proved
that he was not to blame for the Reidswire skirmish he was liberated and presented with
gifts and marks of approbation. This encounter is usually know by the name of "The Raid
of the Reidswire" and is the last of any note that took place between the two kingdoms.

It is believed that this was the last time that the bow and arrow was used as a fighting
weapon in this country

Lovely shot Bryan. The countryside is wonderful and your horseman and horse are well coloured and detailed. Good job
warm regards

Hi Bryan

Good positioning of the horse in the frame with plenty of breathing space at right. Nice use of a shallow dof. Tfs!

very nice Bryan,

Good range of colours which have been handled well by the camera. Nice focus and depth to add that sense of Highland adventure.

The horse in excellent health, and is well toned.

Thanks

Hi Bryan,
Fantastic DoF in this one to give the sense of space with the rolling hills, good colours and well worked for a image in strong sunlight. TFS
Bri

Hi Bryan,
This horesman must be a nice happy Scotsman!
His expression seems to be full of satisfaction!
Great sharpness on the horseman and a beautiful blurred but easily visible landscape.
Fabulous lighting adorning your pleasant capture.
A very clean presentation.
Well done.

Hello Bryan
Fantastic sharpness and clarity.
It looks like that it was a sunny day but u've controlled the exposure very decently.

Good job
TFS
Cheers

Hi Bryan,
excellent shot of the rider in action, the colours are bright and the DoF is dead right - the hills in the BG are in focus enough to create interest but not enough to detract from the subject
cheers
Jack

Hello Bryan,

This is really great Brian. The horse and rider really stand out (almost 3D) on the soft background ... great use of shallow DOF to make that happen.
Colors are very nice and vivid.
Great job... have a good week laddie

Bryan, I compliment your subject, framing, and choice of background on this photograph. Although I do not understand the prolific comments you posted for this photo, let me just say, this photograph is worth a thousand or more words. You and your model should be awarded with a couple pints of the very best ale offered!!!
