Very nice portrait, I love that the eyes nose and mouth are in focus perfectly. I am not a big fan of soft focus portraits, also your framing of the subject is great which draws your eyes to his face.

This would be really lovely if it just had a bit more light which could be achieved by adjusting the levels or curves so as not to blow out the flowers in the rear, increase the saturation a bit and up the contrast very slightly. Also needs just a bit more sharpening to put the focus on the flower in the front.

Beautiful shot. I cant help but ask if that small brownish thing directly under the firework as it goes straight up (under the vertical streak) is the person setting it off?

Congratulations on the ribbon

Great shot, nice to see a different perspective and I like the way you have used fill flash to enhance the subjects and darken the sky, gives a nice moody feel. At shows I often shoot candid stuff (spurs, boots, rear shots etc. just different stuff) and I find it ALWAYS sells! Very nice.

Lynne I had the same reaction as Judy WOW look at that mane!!! I love long flowing manes. Beautiful. I think the bit of the front legs and the small portion of his flank and stifle that you can see stretched, as well as the flowing mane gives it the sense of speed and power so you dont need to see more of the legs. Lovely lovely shot makes me jealous wish I had such gorgeous subjects.
