Barrel Racing

Description

There is a lot of training and communication between horse and rider in barrel racing.
I loved the way the rider's hair flew like the horse's tail in this capture. They seemed to fly as one.

f/5.6 Canon 70-200@153mm 1/1600 sec ISO 320

The judges are going to have a tough time this month choosing among your action shots, Heather. This is another terrific image! #1469943

Another beauty shot, Heather! I know the difficulty trying to capture these shots, my next door neighbours do barrel racing at the back of our property. I've tried on numerous occasions to capture a good one! #10187759

You are so right my friend. That is amazing action freeze framed. They do flow as one, each knowing what part they play. Again the action is incredible, your picture shows off every muscle of the horse, the move of the rider. I am so amazed at the sharpness of the picture, how the colors are so vivid, how the picture is even more detailed than when we see it with out own eyes.
This is already one sensational series and I hope there is so much more. A thrill my friend. #10187852
