I don't care for the vignetting on the edges.

He's gorgeous and seems to like eventing.

might move slightly left to capture hurdle or take from behind barrier with horse coming head on (with zoom!)

Nice action shot. I know the time of day these events take place at make the lighting a nightmare, especially with a dark horse and white breeches. Not crazy about the darkend edges because it doesn't appear gradual enough particularly on the sides.

I am not a great fan of vignetting so I may be a bit biased but I don't personally think it adds anything extra to what is otherwise a pretty good action shot.

woohoo!! About time someone entered a shot of an eventer! Great form and focus on the part of the rider, and the horse looks like a cross-country machine. 9

little bit soft and the edge buring is a bit extreme. nice action

The logs in the lower left of the image as well as the yellowish bush are a bit distracting but I like the framing you did around the border. All that being said it's stil a very nice image. Hope this helps.

Good action shot, nice splash and lovely to see both horse and rider focussed on the next move.

nice burning around the edges. i think chatching the horse coming over the jump would be a more dramatic photo, but this isn't bad. it just isn't popping out at me is all-5

A good photo and the border is actually unnecessary and takes away from the image.

Maybe a tighter crop on the horse and rider to eliminate the logs on the lower left and the flowers at low center. The shutter speed was perfect though - the splash is nicely frozen. The vignette caught my attention first though instead of the subject(s).
