The Chase

Taken at the Bellhabour Point to Point I really like moodiness of the

landscape and sky.

Excellent image Richard! The whole shot just positively reeks of England! From the overcast weather, to the sport itself. Well done old chap.

When I first saw this picture small; the horses and riders to the right looked like a characterized cartoon-ish old man chasing the horse ahead.

Technically it is a fantastic shot but the compositions allow so many more images to be generated by the silhouettes of the horses. For example the top and middle horse provide the outline of a dogs head, with the riders helmet / face as the eye.

The leg of the middle horse ties into the green trunk of the lower rider, giving the impression of a flowing cape.

I think with some colours / compositions and tweaks you could make a lot out of this picture. Real inspiration for others.

Really like this, has a marvellous dynamic feel, coupled with a cold, raw, grittiness that is hard to capture. Well done!

Easily recognized location, action, mood, subject.  It has my vote for photo of the year.
