Hi Fabio,
Some leave TE, some come back, nice to see you again ! :)
Original compo with this one, beautiful sharpness on the foreground and soft DOF, the fact you cut his head permits to focus on his boots which are beautiful and the beauty of the horse which is the key of the success of this shot.
Excellent

Hello Fabio,
Nice to see a new image from you after a long time...Excellent captured of the scene and motion of the horses.Nicely "cropped" and full of energy and action!

well come back,

Thomas

Great to see you back Fabio. I last remember you were hoping to be a Daddy and following flory's thread I see you have a daughter. Congraulations! I expect she's not so tiny any more and life will never be the same again.;D
You haven't lost your touch to surprise us with unusual and well thought out compositions. I wonder how many of us would have chosen this framing with the headless rider and yet it works extremely well. Good DOF choice. Well done

Ciao fabio

A good action shot of the charging horse, with superb sharpness & effective tight framing. Good lighting also reveals the nuances of texture. Good work!

Ciao Fabio,
io mi sono iscritta da poco... ma se questo � il tuo modo per ri-tornare su TE...!
Uno scatto incredibile, pieno di forza! Il cavallo � degno di una statua greca!
buon rientro!
Chiara

Hi Fabio,
Si tratta di una perfetta azione di ripresa con il giusto tempismo :)
Ciao ,

Hello Fabio
Good to see you back after such a long break.
Less is more in this pic and I like the close-up nature of your framing. Great lighting and wonderful sharpness on the horse. A great action pic.
Best wishes
Mark

ktanska (45116) 2008-02-26 3:53

Hi Fabio,
Welcome back!
Plenty of action. Brightly coloured costumes and gear. Tight framing showing many details well. And still I'd like to see the head of the nearest rider. This sort of falls between overall image and close-up detail shot.
Kari

donluicu (24741) 2008-02-26 6:54

hi Fabio
such a pleasure to have you back on TE!!
we missed you very much..

A lot to say about your image:
-the choice of deleting the head of the horse..why not? we focus on the details of the body
- volontary underexposition not to brighten too much the white body., unfortunately, it gives a grey result.

i wait for the next images

bye

lestans (17258) 2008-02-26 7:40

Ciao Fabio!!
magnifica foto in movimento, i dettagli delle bardature e soprattutto la criniera sono spettacolari
Bentornato (finalmente!) a TE!

Ciao Fabio ,
nel periodo che tu hai smesso per i noti motivi io ho incominciato a muovere i primi passi su TE.
non mi era mai capitato di vedere la tua bellissima galleria , commento questa foto perche' l'ultima nata .
bellissimo il momento che hai catturato come pure il taglio che hai dato alla foto .
bel lavoro e spero di poter ammirare tue foto ogni giorno .
Giorgio

Burberry1 (6041) 2008-02-27 1:21

It is good to be back to your gallery.
This shot is very dynamic and vivid.
I like its quality and I guess it could be a reference to our fast life, to our time.

Kind regards from Poland, Agnieszka

Leilani (1385) 2008-02-28 3:09

What a fantastic image. So much energy! Not including the head of the rider really makes the image much more dynamic for me. Excellent clarity, light and colours. A pleasure to discover your gallery. Rgds, Leilani

corniste (4280) 2008-03-11 15:37

Hello Fabio,

it's not every day that a picture is good, when you cut the head of someone with the frame! But that one is good dispite of this particularity.

have a great day!

patdeph (35750) 2008-03-17 7:04

hello Fabio
first,I want to congratulate you for your fantastic gallery!It was difficult to choose one to give a critique!I like this one because of the superb attitude of the horse!The fact that you have cropped the horseman emphasizes the beauty of its movement!I like very much how the mane is moving!That is like a beautiful statue!Very well done!
Have a nice day.
Pascale

Budapestman (82620) 2008-03-19 1:18

HY Fabio,
good news that you are back!!!!!
and strating with a strong beautiful image!!!
i just can't wait for the next ones!!!
teo

fotomek (920) 2008-04-14 5:51

I've never been to Morocco - your images are very "alive", very convincing; one can feel (and smell) it's full of warm colors and noisy country - well done!
tfs, cheers - Tomasz

danbachmann (1746) 2008-05-23 9:44

Cropping the riders head off makes us focus on the horse. Probably a more shallow DOF would have helped with this too (you have f/2.8 with that fantastic Tokina AT-X lens!). I do like the image though. I was drawn in from the thumbnail.

jonathane (1008) 2008-10-17 6:34

Wow Fabio, youv'e managed to capture the moment here, and the amount of detail is amazing. Actually catching the horse in the frame while galopping is a difficult task. Well done!
