Posted in Action Shots

Amidst one of my very first "sport action" photos. I adore polo and decided to whip out my camera while juggling a 9 month old baby in my lap and a ball driven border collie's leash on my belt loop. To get any shot that was "decent" seemed somehow to be a miracle at multi-tasking!

Beautiful capture of motion and movement in this. I really like the exposure and color saturation...such a great sport! Only suggestion would be a slight crop; the background is nicely blurred, but a tighter crop on the horse and rider would make this more dramatic, I think.

Great! I haven't been to polo in ages, so I haven't had a chance to revisit the action shots to practice. This one is my favorite out of the shots, and they also used this for their page's photo for a time.
