Judges Comments


A competently taken sports action image where the faces of the horse and rider are visible, there is good focus on the action, the shutter speed has been selected to freeze the action including
the dirt kicked up by the horse's hooves and the barrel is nicely positioned to give context to the event. What lets the image down is the background which is busy and distracting. Our attention
is drawn away from the action to the distant person and other details. If a better shooting angle was not available then perhaps use a wider aperture to blur the background and lessen the impact.

1/1600s f/8.0 at 175.0mm iso640 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
