Brillant sky and the framing is very good. Catching the dust kicked up from the horses adds the element of movement.

Good record shot of the scene, the landscape and the riders.
Nice colour, good foreground, including the bush on the right !.
My critique is that it is a shame you did not take 1/2 a step back or angle the camera down 5 degrees to include the back feet of the last horse. It would have made the shot perfect.
good recrod shot.

Wonderful sight and the title sums this on up completely.

Great depth created by what track leading you into those hills and those rides gives out the same thing because you know where they are riding too so it all tells that story.

Lovely light and I like the fact that you can see some dust being stirred up by the horses hoofs.

Beautiful surroundings and group of riders. Lighting, colour, focus and depth of field are great. I loved the shadows of the horses.

Great looking countryside. Excellent presentation and composition. Good movement in the horses and people. Angle of view and depth of field are spot on. Colour range is great. Well done Bill

Superb composition! Excellent lighting. feels like it could be a still out of an old western. Would be really cool as a B & W. Nice shot-

Comment from Pentax2012
Welcome to Marlborough country! I grew up on westerns, and this is the kind of scene I always imagine. The landscape is almost enough to reduce the people to secondary status - lovely detail in the hills and grasses that draw you away from the people except as a "fixture" of the landscape. Nice work!

Interesting image. I like all of the horses riding off into the sunset. Beautiful mountains and colored trail. They look like they're going to have fun! :)
thanks, Natalie

Great photo that takes your eyes from the horsemen, down the trail and into the mountains. Good focus and lighting. I even see the dust being thrown up from the horses feet. Nice composition.
