Horse Show Photos

[Katiana]

Hi everyone :] It's my first post here on POTN and hopefully I don't completely embarrass myself, haha.

Both of these were taken at a local horse show and sadly their my best captures. I'm still very much an amature at DSLR photography, I'm afraid.

Both are taken with a Rebel Xti and the first with the kit lens, the second with the canon zoom lens EF 75-300mm.

I really like the second photo as it tells a story of the horses in their pleasure class on the rail. Plus the perspective and diagonal composition really works. (if you crop a bit of the left to exclude the horse and rider in the background it would be even stronger as I find my eye wandering back and forth). I would have liked the first image to have a bit more light on the horses face and the eye more visable. You have done well.
