Charge!
A horse fantasia was organised on the occasion of the circumcision of the King of Morocco's son. Teams of armed riders charge and must all shoot their guns at exactly the same moment.

I'm a big fan of action shots and this is amazing. I really like the almost desaturated look which makes me want to explore the image for more detail. It's wonderful and a unique moment in time.
Stephen Edds  Thank you my fellow Dorset person. To tell you the truth the light was dreadful,
hence that washed out look ! :))

Stephen Edds  Wow....that's one of the nicest comments :))

Wonderful work Stephen (LF). Cannot remember when last I voted on a 400mm lens shot. You are best at this focal length. You need to be in Africa:)
Stephen Edds  Janet has just worked out what LF is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just started splitting my sides again :))))
(I'm a bit slow :( )
Stephen Edds  I can't think what you mean :))
Lovely comment Andre...heart felt thanks :))
Will mail !
Andre du Plessis  Yeah, I agree. 7.1 could be improved on:) Like 35 00 E
Stephen Edds  OK give in ! That has me utterly stumped ??

Stephen great to see this one passed the screening I voted for it & had an idea it was yours simply because of one of your previous attempts to get a similar image published last year. Is this from the same batch or from a more recent event? Either way a splendid image full of action & interest. Congratulations my friend!
Stephen Edds  Hi Gerard great to hear from you ! See below...its been sitting there for months!
That 100-400 EF always seems to get great results...hand held !
Happy you like it ;-)
