Nice action capture with an uncluttered fore/background. My similar efforts at a county show sadly have such distractions.

I agree with one of the other commenters that a crop might help but this would 'upset the conventional composition' however rules are made to be broken ~ at leats in photography.

Great action shot Howard, with obvious explosive energy. Nice and sharp with good colours. With the horse and rider heading slightly towards the left, it might be worth considering a tighter crop at the right to make the space at the left more dominant to lead the viewere to where the horse is generally headed. Cheers, John

It's always fun to see a clean action shot. Perfect! - Jean

This shot of yours, Howard, was what immediately came to mind when I first saw the theme for this challenge! Glad you entered it.

A great image. And a great job in PP in dealing with the high contrast. Fits the theme very well.

Fantastic! I also think the composition is very well done! Nice work :)

Great capture! The horse and rider are almost coming right at you! Very well exposed also, I like the blue sky.
