The composition and lighting on this piece could not be better, in my opinion. The spirit of the horse, and the control of the rider are exceptionally apparent, which I think it difficult to catch on still photo. The angle of the horse is wonderful, and its expression is seen clearly. I am even a fan of the negative space to the left of the image. It seems to let us know there's more coming. I feel that the black and white was a perfect choice for such an image. Absolutely gorgeous, and the stallion and his task are well represented. The only reason I did not give high originality points, is because I've seen this sort of image many times, but please don't feel that is a negative thing. You did it as good or better than anyone else i've seen.

I'm either getting the 70-200 f/4L or 100-400, I want the 100-400 more with the reach for surf photography :)
