      Well caught "feet off the ground" shot: just about both of them.

      Great action shot! I like the detail in the background which, for a change, is niceley separated from the foreground by a slight haze, as opposed to shooting with a narrow depth of field.

      Wow! In the thumbnail this pic looks a lot different. The detail is extraordinary. This should have been tagged out immediately. Stunning! tag2

      It's a great shot to get the horses so clearly but it lacks something for me. It seems *too* clear - there's no sense of motion. Perhaps if you'd have waited until the horses were more level with you and then followed them with your camera? That'd get a motion blur of the background and emphasised the fact that the horses were moving fast.

      A surprising amount of depth-of-field for such a shot..

      Reminds me of the song "You make horses fly" by www.b-l-e-n-d.com/
