Horse & Jockey

Hi

The crop is not every bodies cup of tea ,but the portrait I wanted to show was of the rider enjoying her sport .

What do you think ?

Re: Horse & Jockey

I love the focus and concentration in her eyes, you can see that she is determined and getting ready to negotiate her next obstacle. Great post Roy

Re: Horse & Jockey

As you have asked

Not knowing what the original photo looked like its impossible to tell if the amount of crop is the best. Apart from that you have captured what you set out to achieve very well. If the other elbow was in shot then I would try and include it by pulling back a bit with the cropping

Re: Horse & Jockey

You've captured the expression on her face very very well. The only thing I find a bit off putting is that grandfather clock on her wrist
