Nice picture, Dave. In situations such as this I like to use as shallow a depth-of-field as possible to help isolate the subject from the background; long lenses, too. Of course that makes it a harder picture to make as you have to be spot on with your focus. The nice thing, though, is you do pick up the extra action-stopping shutter speed when you go shallow. I just wish I could ride horses like that.

Hi Carl!
Thanks for your comment. As for the shallow DOF, I agree. However, it's really tough to get shallow DOF with a 16mm lens... which is what I was using, in order to get "on top" of the horses, as they whipped 'round.
As for riding ... Rose wishes I could ride like that, too! Of course she is a level 1 instructor (Western). I, on the other hand, recognize a horse when I see one.... 

Cheers!
