Summer ride

free as the summer breeze.. cheers Jana

very nice photo everything looks great...

She need her heels down and her feet under her.

 

Otherwise, hot!

What a beautiful expression! ... and a universal fantasy well depicted. I'm afraid Les is right both from an equestrian and a composition point of view + also having the horse's legs "cut off" while leaving such a big space above seems a bit unbalanced. Have you considered a close crop to solve both problems ...

... like this?

 

Best wishes, Jonathan

Jonathan, thanks for your feedback. Of course Yours image is better according to all the "beauty" rules. But I like mine more as it gives more space around and shows the wild joy this girl had when riding wildly the horse. And is less boring also because of the feet. cheers Jana

Yes Jana, looking at them again I think you're right (but I still would crop a little off the top).

 

Best wishes, Jonathan

This is a brilliant photo... her long black hair go really well with this picture!

 

I wonder if it would have looked even better if you could see the horse more from the side... Her body would be more visible and it might look even better.

 

Just a thought...

 

Kind regards
