Greetings from the Critique Club
Oh, I liked this when I saw it in competition and I still like it now!
Seems to me I saw a "Validated" notice on this then, but can't figure out what could have prompted that, unless you were away during judging.
Anyhow: Beautiful composition, coloring and subject matter. Excellent capture of a difficult subject. YOur lens was just right for the occasion. Processing - well, yes, it does appear to be a bit over-processed. There's a slight halo around the girl's thigh and the horse's legs, usually a sign of oversharpening. That may be the only reason why you didn't make it to the "6" column with this excellent image.
Keep up the good work.

| Horse, rider and bottom quarter of the photo are great. The background has something wavy/blurry going on that I'm not getting. |

| Great timing on the capture, but there's something going on processing-wise (I think) in the tree behind the rider's head. Still nicely depicts a beautiful sport! |

| would consider cropping just a tad more on the right side - otherwise an awesome shot! |

| Very nice timing and capture of the motion - even the flying bits of sand. This seems slightly oversharpened or something (the trees in the background especially look strange) but other than that is a strong entry. And the rider looks so calm! |

| I really like the action here. Not sure about the background, is that just the lens rendition of bokeh? Everything else is spot on. Nice detail. Above average rating. |

| great capture, but you got some really weird bokeh artifact back there. I don't quite know what's up with that. 7 |

| Nice...a lovely composition, but your processing has done some funny things to the bokeh (perhaps oversharpening) which has made a distracting mess in the background...it looks like a Neat Image thing. I like it overall, but maybe something to think about next time 7 |

| Wow what a great picture, as it appeared on my screen all I could see was the riders face and it appeared so serene I thought it would just be of someone riding. Too then see that she is jumping (and that you have captured it so well) is a real treat. Only minus for me is the tree background on the left which is (imo) not pleasing to the eye and a bit distracting |
