A friend and I went out to take some pictures of my pony. She has a Canon EOS 350D, I love taking pictures with it and playing with the results. Here are some of the smaller and edited results. I've only made some minor changes. Anyway, let me know what you think and if I should edit them some more, or anything else that comes to mind.

The link for the top image does not function for me.
Regarding the second image, the focus seems a bit soft, the composition and cropping could be improved upon, and a polarizer might have proven beneficial.

| I like the second one nice capture of action. Looks like the sun was coming from behind or directly overhead. you can bring out more highlights in photoshop using the adjustment Shadows and highlights. Good pic.. Maybe a tighter crop also |

The portrait has been shot with a wide angle lens which has distorted the horse, given it a huge head and small body. I never shoot a horse picture with anything under 100mm.
The jump shot has similar problems. In order to get the whole jump in the shot and not have the horse looking small in the frame, you need to shoot with at least 100 - 200mm which means moving back further from the jump, zooming in and being at about a 45 degree angle to the jump. This will shorten the perspective of the shot which means that it sort of compresses the distance. I will try to find a few examples for you and post them later.
Hope this helps.

The crop on the jump shot should have more room on the left than the right so that it gives the horse and rider room to move into the frame. At the moment the extra space is on the right which makes them look as if they are jumping out of the frame.
