I know what you were trying to do, but I don't think the actual perspective of the height comes across.

I really like this shot! It has great action and the expression on the horses face is wonderful. The only thing that I would have done different is to crop out some of the negative space. I wish that the background would have been a little more colorful. Everything else is great. Good Luck in future contest.

The rider looks like she is in the horses mouth too much.

Receiving one of my highest scores for this challenge, this image is exquisitely rendered. The position of the horse, its straining neck, the determination of the rider's bearing all add to a truly interest generating composition and the hat is the icing on the cake!

8 - I really like this shot. Great action shot, especially of the horse. I just noticed the shadow of the hooves too, which looks great. Great angle, great 'feel'. I like the hat. Criticism; the perspective is good but for me, not sure, maybe a different crop, different angle, perhaps a nudge rotation to the left, not sure. Maybe black and white would work really well for this shot, don't know. Of course, more focus and sharpness, making the horse and rider (and hat) really stand out against the dirt/dust, would make this a much better photograph in my opinion. Good capture.

Nice potential in this shot but, I think you have way too much empty space that doesn't add to the shot. a tighter crop around the girl and horse would be nice that could be expanded to the hat but, all the empty space on the left adds nothing to the shot.
