Giovanni,
Very nice high contrast image. Love the intense action and dust clouds add a lot. Very nice image.

Hi Giovanni. I love the dust being kicked up as well as the hints of motion blur in places, really adds a dynamic element to the shot. The high contrast look also works well.
Overall details look very smooth - so I am not sure if you dragged the clarity slider down a lot in RAW conversion, or if you ran noise reduction all over?
I would crop a bit from the top so that the tree trunk top left gets removed.

[Marc Mol]

Just the right amount of S/S here Giovanni, with the hoof blur and subsequent dust kicked up, would also go for cropping out the tree base as well.
Nice action!

Morkel & Marc said it all. The contrast is a bit too high for my personal liking (bordering on an unnatural feel) but that's perhaps just me. Nice action shot!

Hi Giovanni

Like the raw moment captured, pure testosterone!

Fine with contrast, agree with more detail.

BG looks a bit too blurred, did you do NR?
