Super action shot, Bill. :o)William Johnson April 05, 2006
Thank you Crystal. I enjoyed using my 105mm/Macro which hasn't been out much since I bought it. Yes he did clear the jump OK, but don't know how he went on in the competition. Bill J. #2612036Gloria B. Wood April 05, 2006

Fantastic action shot, Bill!! Perfect timing as well!! #2615833William Johnson April 06, 2006
Glad you think so Jenny, thank you. Bill J. #2615852Pat and Graham . Robards April 07, 2006
This is wonderful Bill as are all your photos in the gallery. I haven't got time to comment on all of them.There is white on the horses front legs, is it snow or markings?
It is a well timed shot with the macro lens! Hope we get as good one day!

Thank you for the complement,Pat. The white on the horses legs is "sweat" I believe, and after a cross country chase i'm not surprised it was sweating, are you? This shot was taken using the 105mm lens as opposed to the Macro part of the lens. Bill J. #2618827Pat and Graham . Robards April 07, 2006
Sweat, well my goodness me Bill, no I am not surprised now! Thank you for the information! !Pat #2619195William Johnson April 07, 2006
Glad to have been of some help Pat:o) It just goes to show we can learn something every day, ha, ha. Bil J #2619287Tom Roe April 07, 2006
Nice action shot. The jockey seems pretty determined to finish. #2619305William Johnson April 07, 2006
Thanks a lot Tom. I think in show jumping they prefer to be called Riders rather than Jockey's Bill J. #2619363Helen Green April 18, 2006
Great action shot, framed so well. #2658913William Johnson April 19, 2006
Your comments are very welcome Helen, thank you. Bill #2659869Andrew JM Davies April 20, 2006
Great shot. The composition is very good using the thirds-rule and you have left more space on the lefthand side for the horse to move into - good.Using your 105mm again I see - A good lens choice for this shot, it's doing you proud!
Cheers,
