My picture of the week is Image #4 from A Day At The Hunt by inmotion

He has captured the jump perfectly, the composition and detail are great showing the horses
in action and the look of determination in the rider's face. I like that inmotion took the photo
from low to the ground shooting up as well.

Craig,

Great choice, of an image that is simply stunning.

Jim, you've truly excelled with this shot. Action, angle, colour, excitement ... you've got it all!

Ditto all comments. Wonderful, striking image, crisp and colourful. The crop angle is excellent.

Congrats on POTW.

Hi Guys/Gals Thanks for the great comments , it shows it pays to be versatile as this was shot with the 24-120 on the D3 to gain a different perspective-I still want a fisheye foe some of these angles
Thnks again--jim PS Deb Im in it all the time!!
