Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hehe, funny to see that I am also the only post-challenge commenter here. I am a retired horse trainer with a background in eventing, which includes dressage. Love, love, love everything about the horse and rider: great light on them, love the lines, the fantastic exposure, I think you were wise to desat. But the oof bg details are distracting which weakens the impact of what you have. Burning the bejeezus out of the bg may have worked best especially on the fencing at the end of the arena, where it meets the horse's eye.
I am very impressed that you got this detail at f2.8, I'm guessing a 70-200mm? Anyway, you got a magnificent capture here, and to be honest I never would have guessed an Arabian as this is not the sort of discipline you tend to see them in.
Great work, please keep it up and continue entering!

| Very nice shot, I've often seen this angle from when I used to shoot dressage shows. Love the braid job - surprised she didn't do the long running braid which is what I would expect to see at an Arabian show. Gorgeous light too. |
