Some images work because of their detail and some because of their simplicity, their lack of detail and extraneous information. The hint of an element can tell the whole story without the viewer being aware of it. In a good photograph a little information can go a long way.
This shot would tell an entirely different story if the ghostly silhouette of the rider in the background was not present. It would just be a horse running out of a cloud of dust, but the horseman riding away from the camera tells us that this was one that got away, one that is not going with the herd. This image would be a good candidate for one of those inspirational posters, ‘Breakaway from the Herd’.
The golden light in this photograph is remarkable, adding a hue throughout the composition resulting in a natural sepia tone tint. The photo-artist may want to think about cropping a little off the left side to make the subject a less centered.

Cropped

HI!
Thank you! I was wondering about the centering of this. I kept going back and forth, with exactly how you cropped it. I was feeling it gave it more of which way did he go feel L.O.L. Thank you Jim. I think you are right on, about the crop it works smoother with a little less tension. Perhaps it is better and you still get that breakaway feel.
Made my day!
Get this! It was my surprise to find the rider. Hud, in the background, it was only until I was playing with high level adjustments that he was noticed, I dogged and burned him in. I played around with the natural colors to bring it to life. The front horse was hard to decide on less detail or more. To strike a A balance here turned challenging for me. I was afraid I had over worked it.
Another image I almost dismissed.

I just wanted to thank you again Jim for helping me with good sound knowledge on composition and such that helps me fine tune my images. Although just an opinion I highly regard it. Your 9999% right.
I am off to a Family reunion for a week. Going to put the Canon D40 to test.
Took some already, For a mid DSLR it rocks! worked fantastic with my 70-200 f.28 Stabilized lens. ( helps keep the ISO number lower) Hate the delay time with the buffer when RAW format is on. and the noise at high ISO. Still love my Mark II. But hate the weight. Great improvement on my frozen shoulder. I will be loving the D40! Has great contrast and color better than my Mark II.
