What a beautiful silhouette horse and rider make against that incredible water and golden setting sun. Wonderful catch, the splashing water is also beautifully illuminated ...

I love backlit shots. The hint of the afterglow reflects on the beach as the horse trots down the beach. You lens speed was quick enough to catch the splashing of the water. The horizontal presentations are perfect.

Fred,
A very beautiful picture of the jockey on his horse riding through the breaking waves, that are said to strengthen the the horse 's legs. The afterglow of the setting sun in the sky then reflected on the sea's glistening surface is an added bonus..
Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan

I like so much the simplicity of this photo and the fantastic colors from the sunset. The incoming small waves are so well captured together with the splashes from the horse running. The stop action is perfect.

The almost silhouetted horse and rider are standing out sharp and well defined against the sea, and the exposure is just perfect.

The panorama format you have cropped the photo into works so well, and I like that you have given the horse so much room to move into. Indeed a beautiful and well taken photo Fred, and with an excellent DOF.

    When I was in France I was able to tour Monte Sainte Michelle, but Normandy must be much larger than I imagined. It is a beautiful picture any way. Ray

Now this is what excellent photography looks like.

A single rider and horse seen in silhouette with the spray from the horses hooves clearly defined. All this is backed up by a calm sea reflecting a sunset sky.

This take has tremendous story potential aside from being a fine piece of photographic art.

I am partial to 'scapes' of all types especially when they are of this caliber. This is one of you best ... Bob

A grate looking nature image posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that cantering horse and that wonderful dusk seascape. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are spot on! Great shot!

Comment from Charlotte Morse


This is a lovely photo. I like the long narrow crop you've chosen, the position of the rider is perfectly placed, riding into the image and nicely following the rule of thirds. And to have a sunset in the background, what more could you ask!
Good one.

This is different in that a lovely horse and rider are silhouetted so nicely along the beach. The water is lovely. The sunset, in a straight rectangle of solid orange, is lovely indeed.

Wonderfully expressive and dramatic. Everything worked for me, from the illustrative style, balance, color, texture. Overall, a visually attractive shot!
