reflection of a ride

[Rita]

Haven't had much time to be doing photography the last few weeks but this is something I did about a month ago and just got around to doing something with it this weekend. Awhile ago I posted some reflections that I had taken and this is another one. In the beginning I wasn't sure about doing this type of image but I am starting to really enjoy looking for things that could be possibilities. This was taken at an equestrian event that I was working at as a first aid attendent. The original shows the horse, rider, and the reflection. This is cropped from the original.
Any critiques or comments are most welcomed.

I like this, Rita. My only quibble would be the bright area of water on the left: it seems a little too lright and lacking in detail.

I like it Rita but just curious...is this a composite?

[Shadowman]

Nice concept.

[Rita]

Hi Greg, I will see what I can do with the bright piece. Glad you mentioned this because I wasn't sure about it either

Izzie, thank you. And no, it isn't a composite, just the reflection in the water of the horse jumping.

Thank John.

Well done Rita, I like this and it to me anyway, would probably be harder to capture than the normal image

Good eye Rita.

[Rita]

Going on what Greg said about lack of detail in the one area of the image I have done a quick re-do of my edit. Might have gone too far the other way now but here it is.....

[Rita]

David, thanks for commenting. I don't know about harder but I sure had fun.

Steve, thank you.

Rita, your edit is beautiful!

[Texas Dave]

So very different! Love it!

[klpurkett]

Very cool! Well seen, captured, and edited.

This has to be planned...I can't possibly shoot this kind spontaneously...Nice piece of work -- almost artsy but not because it is real...Good job!

Hi Greg, I will see what I can do with the bright piece. Glad you mentioned this because I wasn't sure about it either

Izzie, thank you. And no, it isn't a composite, just the reflection in the water of the horse jumping.

Thank John.

Thank you David and Kristy.

Izzie, wish I could say that this was spontaneously but it wasn't. I was at this event from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. so there was lots of opportunity to practice.

Love it, your have inspired me, I feel like going out now and getting action shots like this. It would be difficult coming up with the right position. Composition is great.
