Plenty of action and the image is sharp. Perhaps the BG could be blurred a little to make the horses stand out a bit more. I took it into PS and removed the wood that is along the base of the image as I felt it made the image look a bit slanted. See what you think.   Posted: 08/01/2026 12:50:00

This image captures the speed, elegance, and competitive intensity of polo. The three different horses creates a dynamic, layered composition. Nice sharp image of this action.

I find the shadows across the bottom pulling me down a bit. Could these be lightened to reduce their intensity? I also like removing or cropping the fencing at the bottom of the photo.

I've never been to a polo match, but what I imagine it would be like is what I see in this photo. Good job!   Posted: 08/03/2026 21:03:03

Good shot with good views of the faces of all three riders.
But it would have been great if the ball had been in the picture.   Posted: 08/04/2026 06:08:19

Great action shot! Both the horses and riders are showcased wonderfully in sport!   Posted: 08/04/2026 15:46:49

You did a very good job of capturing the concentration level of the riders and the different contortions of the horses. I don't have any further suggestions to help improve the photo. Good shot.   Posted: 08/04/2026 20:37:47

Great action shot. Makes the viewer feel like they are right there at the game.
The shadows tell more of the story as to time of day and sunny scene. I agree with Angela about deleting the wood of the barrier. Well done   Posted: 08/09/2026 14:56:18

I like the action packed subjects but the shadows in the foreground are distracting. Could you perhaps photoshop out the shadows so that all focus is on the riders and horses?   Posted: 08/23/2026 18:59:45
