Hi elkiegean, to be totaly honest #'s 1 to 3 seem very soft in focus + #2 is just backs going away from you?. The softness could be due to over cropping or poor lens focus,(no EXIF info so can't really comment). #'s 4&5 have better clarity with #5 being the best!. #4 IMO should have had the horse to the left allowing space for the horse to "jump" into. I'm no expert on equestian sports so take my input with a pinch of salt!. Kind regards Graham.

Agree with Graham's comments, what camera did you use to take these? They look a little pixelated, almost like the photos I get off of my phone...

4 would work better if you cropped right in and focused on the first bit of the horse... something like this:

Alternatively I would stand directly opposite or 45degrees from the front of the horse, that should get a better shot.

thanks for the comments, i used a Nikon P90, they had to be zoomed as i couldnt get in to close as it was a lesson and the grey horse at the end you have to be quick with him to get any sort of picture, he is just so fast.

they diddnt come out great on here some of them were printed and they looked much better than they do on here i dont know what happened.

Thanks

just to add none of the pictures have been cropped or had anything done to them, all they are is zoomed when i took the picture
