There is room for improvement to make it to the title page, I guess. Maybe the rider's club magazine ;-)

By the way, the rider in front is the fox.

Would have cropped the picture to get rid of the twig on the left, but it's minimal editing.

Lens was a rented Canon 70-200 2.8 L IS USM.

Only resized the image. GIMP has only a sharpening dialog where you can adjust things, so I didn't use it.

Post challenge:
Thanks for the comments. No real fox was hurt. The rider in front serves as the fox, marked by the fox tail on her left shoulder.

nice photo although to be honest I don't approve of foxhunting. However that has no bearing on the score I've given you.

Had your image been closer - more focused on the riders and maybe deeper color saturation, I would have scored it a point or two higher.

Such a topical subject! IMO I would have preferred a tighter crop. I like the fog just beyond the fence. It gives the image some additional character.

I thought they'd outlawed that in GB - or was that just with hounds?

Interesting shot, a teleconverter would have helped to get a better approach.
