Riders of a different kind

Following on from serious cyclists, serious riders, well one at least.
Actually my daughter on her 'pet' Bella, the first time they had jumped together.





Critiques welcomed.

Nice images, unfortunately the impact vest rather detracts from the look; is that a req't now? As far as comments go, not really much to say; like a lot of event photography, you have to take what you can get. These are nicely excuted and exposed (with the possible exception of the horses lower legs being cropped in #2)

both pics are very good in a quite and simple waybut very important to the photographer,cz his daughter is making her first jump my only advice is ......one must be very careful before clicking to see,if anything from the back ground, is sprouting out off the subjects headunfortunately both this pics have that problem its very distracting and disturbing for a viewer.

You're both right of course

I guess I could clone out the sprouting distractions; there only being limited opportunity and a dose of pure chance to avoid it at time of capture in #1.

However, the bad framing (missing legs) can't be re-done later, I was just too tight.

I agree they're not 'works of art'.
Must try harder for a discerning audience.
Thanks
