Peter, I loved this shot. I wanted you to know that you hit it right on as far as I am concerned. The riders expression conveys the expectation of the plunge into the water as well as the determination to keep the horse balenced for the departure out of the drop. It really exemplifies the efforts that these atheletes put forth to compete in the 3 Day Events.

I love this too as the horse still has his ears up even though he knows what he is in for!
Great shot. I have shot very low levels of eventing (one day stuff) and I hope to one day go to one with jumps like this.
