Barrel races are an event here in Arizona. I wanted to capture both the entire horse and the rider as they
came around the barrel. The effort is difficult for the horse but some make it look easy.

Nice capture of the horse and rider going around a barrel. My only suggestion would be to crop a little off the sides and top to bring more attention to the main subjects. Posted: 05/01/2025 11:32:34
You stopped the action perfectly and at the right time. The exposure is good. I too feel that you could crop in quite a bit to reduce the distractions surrounding the event. Posted: 05/05/2025 15:48:09
