Wonderful action shot. You have managed a perfect focus and subject placement. The timing as regards the pose is also spot on. Even the positioning of the whips is perfect.
Congratulations.

Great photo! I had a hard time discerning how many horses were in the pack (three) and which horse was which… I enjoyed trying to figure it out.

I live in Ireland where people also have a passion for horses, horse racing and any other competition; we’re not as different as we think.
