Equine and People

I started to seriously take on equine and people photography about 9 months ago. I need to know what others think of my images. Any tips and feedback will be very appreciated!!
Thanks.

You got some beautiful photos, nice and sharp, good color, and captured a moment well.

I'd think about what aperture settings you're using. I've done sports and typically a midrange to smaller aperture is used because there's usually a number of athletes/participants that all need to be in focus. With one like the horse at the red door (which I like, nice) that's where I might go with a larger aperture; during warmups I might get a close up at ice level of the goalie/helmet and open up my lens more for a portrait style shot.

With sports I find that the backgrounds are noticeable (often with posts and poles and signage that can create a lot of lines) and need to be taken into consideration. You seem to have done that and gotten nicely framed images. Since there's a lot of background showing it seems to make for a good bit of the image out of focus. You want to emphasize the horse and rider but maybe not to the point that so much of the photo is maybe getting a little too much out of focus.

I'd just watch for when there's a trailer etc. in the background and see if you can change your vantage point so the object is either out of the frame or in the frame and adding to the photo (if it isn't I usually want it out of my picture! if/when possible, or at least not chopped off at an odd place). The trailer isn't that noticeable, I'm just used to watching for that when I'm framing shots.

If you intend to 'do something' with your equine photography it seems like you're definitely on the right track. These are good enough that I want to go take another look.

Very interesting series!

I think the framing could be better. In the first photo the girl and the horse look to me to be past center, lot of nothing behind them and the horse's head going out the other side to soon. If it was cropped so that the back side didn't have so much of nothing, the front would work for me. Good aperture, background out of focus!

The second one is the same, to much nothing behind to object and the horse running out of it.

The last one of the girl on the horse looks to centered to me. If you cropped it, I'd move the horse back.

Excellent captures - well taken.

Well done excellent

You know what, I can't say I've seen a albino horse before.
