Everyday life of Highlanders (Podhalan) in the early twenty-first century

Comments greatly appreciated, thanks for your time :)

Fantastic action shot! Jumped right off the screen at me!

Top notch action shot, just gripping.

tebrikler mükemmel bir o an. fotoğrafı

tremendous burst of energy, you caught the light perfectly as well,

This is exciting! Horses really can fly : )

I see you have taken a small break and relaxed a bit your masterly Art post-process skills in this fast action shot,..by the way a great shot as always!! What a joy to have a great master like you with us, indeed! All the best Wojtek!

Awesome shot - really "jumps" out at the viewer.

Great shot! Man, someone is really going to be hating life the next morning after that........... :-)

Great shot! you capture the moment.

Perfect shot!

Fabulous action capture and very pleasing to the eye to see a BW image... nice work as always.

This is a terrific shot. Against all rules of physics. I guess the advertisements in the back are all about pain killers. Karl

very well done!

Remarkable, and quite insane. I love it.

Brilliant! An indeterminate moment in time riding between the verge of success and disaster. A cliffhanger to which the viewer may never know the outcome. Fantastic.

Great timing. B&W works great for this image.
Well done.

Fantastic horse ! Great action ! Great background too, in my opinion... I only miss the people seated in the coach...

Great moment. But you have used 4:3 crop here. I think you can find better composition using 3:2 crop with horse above middle line.
I have a question if I can. In this situation is better continuous shooting or try to find the right moment?

Captures the suspense of the moment beautifully. Great shot.I would also like to know what the prevailing wisdom is with regard to Continous shooting for an action shot.
The nikon D80 I use has a pretty slow Continuous shooting mode (3fps) and I always find myself debating whether to try to capture in a single shot or take a chance and hope that one of the 2 or 3 frames in the sequence will be winners. As a newby to the photography scene I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks

Finally ... congratulations!

A very good documentary shot. Excellent B&W. Great timing in capturing the horse

Now, THIS is more like it, the sound, the dust cloud. If one listens closely, he can hear the heartbeat of the horse. Fine work, and as to the earlier question, continuous shooting is the ONLY way to gety a shot like this, unless one were to rely on luck. and, I like this crop well enough and can't imagine another crop working better.
