Thats one big leap, really shows off the power that horses have, perfectly timed!

Really like the first one.
Is the water jump one cropped? Would've been interesting to get the complete reflected horse and rider?

 

[Martipa]

Hi Lee, yes its cropped only to remove some wooden fences either side, unfortunately i don't have one with a full reflection.

 

[Peanut]

As Lee said, full reflection image from the water would have been a right keeper!

Nice shots, I think you could of done with a tad faster shutter speed on number 1, you got away with a low shutter speed on the others because they were travelling more towards you, but the side on shot shows a bit motion blur and i think you may have over sharpened it to compensate. Loved the shot of the owl when i was nosing through your flickr, fantastic!

The last one is awesome

[Martipa]
