        Well done, Hennie. Your image is sharp, and you handled the exposure perfectly. You have captured the mood and drama for impact. You mentioned that you had cropped the picture; consider leaving a little more space at the bottom of your frame, as it feels slightly tight and crop somewhat more to the right for a better balance. Well done Hennie!!

          Hi Bruna, does this look better ? That black line all along the bottom of the branch was very distracting to me; I tried fixing it using brush masks, but no matter what I did I could not make it look natural, so I gave up and went for the tight crop instead.

        Thank you for posting, Hennie; your exposure is spot-on, and your image is sharp, clean and well-presented. That is the result when your in-camera settings are spot on. Well done, Hennie! To improve your composition, consider leaving a little more imaginary space to compensate for the horse’s legs at the bottom of the frame and a little less…Read More

          Hi Bruna, does this look better ? I initially went for the tighter crop becasue the horizontal line of grass at the bottom seemed to clash with the diagonal line the horses made.

        Hi Danie. Thank you for those very kind words. It has been an absolute privelege to have and still be a member of this community and I am always blown away by the quality of work coming through. I often then think to myself, have I got a chance when it comes to these competitions in the DPC group and I always feel humbled when I win a competition or my images are selected by yourselves. Thank You. As you said if there are any members that would like to pick my brain or need a bit of advice my door is always open.
