Thank you for taking the time to look and I am glad you like them. You are right about timing and luck and I hope as I get more experience with it there will be better timing. The hard part is finding a good vantage point that allows you to work a few jumps from one location for different angles and perspective.

Terry, I've come back to this image twice today.
I absolutely love the colour contrast of horse and jump.

As well, the entire balance of the pic, between horse, rider and scene is marvelous. I know that with "jump shots" part of it is timing, and part of it is luck. It's a great shot as well in the arc of the horse, and the placement of the back hooves. I'm not sure you could have shot that better had you tried!!!

Beautiful pic, beautiful gallery, beautiful portfolio.
Thanks for sharing!
