Thanks for comments and rating. Karl

Beautiful action shot.

This is a national geographic picture! 7/7 an

Great Shot Karl, you did really well to get the guy so sharp.

Terrific shot and perfect timing.

Very good action shot captured, the sharpness on the horseman & eagle are excelllent.

Beautiful action shot, very nice documentary image, very interesting and very well done. best regards Christine

very interesting and excellent photo karl.

an incredible image from a Western photographer of a Mongol hunter with a Native America title! regards!

Great!

Spontaneously one could have the idea to discuss about the position of the trio. Yet its fine to show that he is coming from far far away. Special the blurred and sharp areas at the right places!

Karl,

Common composition of scenes like this one is supposed to leave more space in front of the subject in motion rather than behind, your image gives me an impression your horse is about getting out from it. Maybe some cropping will help? Interesting subject indeed, well seen less well done.

 

Alright Karl! You nailed this one! Wow! This is impressive in so many ways. It's so exotic, the hint of motion is perfect, and the position of the eagle is amazing! This is the epitome of great travel photography.

Really a nice action... to me perfectly composed too...

Very imprasive action,

an amazing image, superb well done.

Rich.

Great colourful action shot !  It is such a pleasure to trawl through the photos of your journey.  Great stuff.

Best regards

Very dynamic trio, I like it. I would crop a bit the right side, if it was mine, best regards, CF

Hi Karl

Just been revisiting your shot.  Just to show what could be done with less depth of field I have very quickly done a quick edit.  Shows what you could do with spending more time than me and with Photoshop Elements.

Hope that helps !

Cheers

Jim

This certainly has that WOW factor! A most amazing and well made image this is. Thank you for sharing something that I shall never see in my life, a world away from mine... Bravo!
