Denzil
BEAUTIFUL!!! Fantastic image, love the details on the horse’s coats, the turn-back on the rider’s coat, the grelam on the boots – absolutely sensational! Love the processing – all of it. Straight to favourites!
Caroline Gorka
Just the idea of that horse wrapping it’s body round the leg .. lovely work :)
Vanessa Anderberg
This is a great shot….colors and composition….
Smudger
wow this is excellent
Emily Peak
Love it! From the composition,subject right down to the tx!
I can totally see this on someones tack room wall or in the house! Would make a lovely card for the dressage enthusiast too!
michael byerley
outstanding !!!
Sande Elkins
Wow! I actually think this is my favorite of the group…and I loved them all…despite the fact that less of the horse is showing. The composition is just astounding and that one coat tail flapping backwards just grabs me from the start. This image just speaks so of the discipline and partnership of dressage. Did this horse compete in the Olympics? I recall hearing the name before.
Susan Grissom
Incredible shot….you are the best.
Tahnja
stunning Ade! Wowee and one of my favourite moves too along with the flying changes in a straight line

Beautifully done Adrian great colour and definition
Hans Goepel

cheers Hans
Sophia Lemon
Too much gritty effect. The whites are way blown out, and tones, otherwise, are way too harsh.
PennyEdwardes
Just love the treatment Ade….very striking indeed! Well done again! :)
Nina SMART
For me this has a very painterly feel. To a photographer perhaps it deviates from what “normally” constitutes good tonal values (in response to Sophia’s comment) but I think it is the very same tonal qualities that make this image so outstanding! I could so see this on a massive canvas (I’m talking at least 6ft/2m long) hanging in a contemporary art gallery. Being a painter I’m possibly bias but three cheers for breaking that “photographic” mould!
