Tent Pegger #2, a photo from Punjab, East

Photographer's Note

Tent pegging (sometimes spelled "tentpegging" or "tent-pegging") is a cavalry sport of ancient origin, and is one of only ten equestrian disciplines officially recognised by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports. Used narrowly, the term refers to a specific mounted game with ground targets. More broadly, it refers to the entire class of mounted cavalry games involving edged weapons on horseback, for which the term "equestrian skill-at-arms" is also used.

Very dramatic, with the horse coming straight towards you. I also like the arrangement of the colour and the lack of distraction in the background. I wish I had taken it!

Nadeem, this is magic.
The horse is almost flying, the action is brought to us in a perfect way.
The soft colors and the blurred bg form a great contrast with the action.

Nadeem: whatever clarity is slightly off here - the absoulte dynamism of your shot speaks or itself - superb capture - as noted by your other fans. regards, c

A great dramatic action shot caught at just the right moment I like the way the dust seems to form a halo around the subject

Hi Nadeem,
Yellow background blurred largely with backlight, is really beautifull. Pink is suitable for the white horse, too. Really wonderful work with precise focus.
Which focusing did you use, AI-Servo or preset focus?
Have a nice weekend, Hisashi

Hi Nadeem
Amazing image with great light and pastel colours. I like the way the image is "framed" by darker tones at the top and bottom.
Best wishes
Kasia
