Excellent photo, Jim. The light worked in your favor.
The over-exposed and OOF BG is just right with the guy in Western clothes at the gate
and the green foliage filling in the top right. A photo full of atmosphere.

Great job handling the difficult lighting. You really captured the
essence of the draft horse show. My wife and I were there Saturday
to watch and support a young 4H rider.

Well-handled, under the circumstances.
Great motion-image views of the horses...

Difficult backlight but a good photo anyway! I hope you got out of the way before they run over you! Well, you seem to be around to post the photo so I do not haver to worry! Powerful horses!

Never mind... I just read your description and am quite red-faced. :-)

I love it... was this inside the arena at Monroe Fairgrounds?

I see that the lighting was difficult, but you pulled it off. There is an excitement to the photo that I love.
