 Well, I like the calm autumn atmosphere in the shot - but the best photo I've ever taken??

It's a fox hunt, but no fox is hurt, no need to worry. A single rider in front lays a track with some sap, the fox hounds follow it, and the riders follow the hounds, cross country with jumps in between.

Curves, crop, USM

Aw! The composition is really nice here, a lot of natural framing going on that I enjoy.

Lovely scene of hounds, horses and huntsman. I can almost hear the baying of the pack.

I would have preferred a zoom in on the 3 riders with the pack of hounds. Would have made for a more effective shot IMO

Noisy, composition needs work, contentious subject matter
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 05:57:09 PM
Good shot. A bit more detail on the dogs and horses would score even higher.

It is interesting to see a photograph of such a classic scene that until now, I've only seen via engravings.

I like how the pack of dogs are so tight together

Good image, though, I wish the leaves weren't fighting for space.

Very nicely presented, I enjoyed siting here for several minutes with this photo. Thank you.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think I would have cropped out the walkway in the back and then straightened it and given it a panoramic feel. Very nice subjects and colors and good detail tho.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:06:23 AM
well balanced shot with nice colors and sharpness.

 03/12/2009 05:13:02 AM
good documentary picture. wish you could have managed to shoot from a lower angle to keep the branch out of the frame
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:26:15 AM
nice colors and detail and interesting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:50:13 PM
Or, hound exercising, since "hunting" is now against the law. What a shame (except for the fox, of course)!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:42:51 PM

Incredible how they are able to keep all those hounds in one tight group. I like this photo, it's different, has great color and good movement.
