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.

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..
