    I like #4 the best, just because of the emotion portrayed in that shot.

    On a precautionary note that is not related to photography, I hope she wears a helmet when she's not being photographed!!

    Thanks for commenting!!! I sorta wish her hair wasnt in her eyes on #4 but I guess you cannot have it all...

    As for the helmet......I wish she would wear a helmet as well.....In fact at one point while we were shooting and my mother in law and I were going in our golf cart to the other side of the arena...and she had just gone over the jump.... I turned around and she is on the ground because slew decided to run her into the round pen. She is on the ground all the time....She needs to wear a helmet and we do encourage he to do so....

    Thanks scott for commenting....I am sorta with you on this one.....I had some DOF issues shooting at 2.8......I usually get away with shooting horses at 2.8 but not this time...Plus I had it in AI SERVO the whole time so it sorta didnt like that for the stationary shots....

    The pics look good for a grey day. #6 looks is my favourite.

    But she really needs a helmet. I don't know if Slew jumps like this very often but horses that splay those front legs will eventually tangle in a rail and go down, and it's never an easy fall when it does.
