Hi Benjamin,
wonderful shot of this soldiers. I like the sharp details of their wear as I like the action. The dynamism of the photo is also amplified by the dust in the air that is paritally hiding the soldiers behind. Wonderful scene!
Have a nice day,
Tomi

vinci (575) 2006-09-01 15:46

Salut,
Vraiment belle image dynamique avec une focale parfaite et une profondeur de champ qui met en valeur les cavaliers en premier plan. Le mouvement de course des chevaux figé est très esthétique.
J'apprécie vraiment cette image...
Merci du partage et à bientôt sur TE

Hi again Benjamin,
Very powerful shot. The colors the dust the noise the atmosphere...and you froze the horses in air.
With their uniform this isn't a horse race, but a battle. This matches any still from the battle movies.
Cheers,
CheukHin

mdetay (4929) 2006-09-03 5:48

Hi Ben.,
It looks like a movie picture. Well done. 1/350 is not so fast and the result is great. DOF is also fine. Good choice of lens and speed. Cheers.
Michel

LCannon (2798) 2006-09-03 14:45

This is such a great action shot, so full of the pride and spirit of the cavalry. I love how you've shot it at just the right moment to get the horse's hooves off the ground. The colors of the clothing really stand out in all that beige and brown. I think this looks like a wonderful work of art, a painting hanging in a fine museum. Well done, a spectacular job!

avis2avis (4264) 2006-09-06 1:48

Stunning shot. Looks like a still from a movie. The dust and haze create quite an ambience for this superb action shot. You have a very impressive gallery Benjamin.

Complimets from India :)

Nice traditional equipment.

alastair (21) 2006-09-12 4:07

Excellent picture capturing the real spirit of "great men on little horses"... I particularly like the cropping, and the fact that no dust obscures the lead horse. THIS is a picture that really brings history to life!

A wondeful scene from a movie;Great atmosphere and colours, DOF and depth in it. Top job.

What a great shot, with the horseriders coming out of the dust. Great color throughout, and nice contrast. Perhaps you could correct however the shadows on the guys' faces.

sebinho342 (19329) 2006-09-27 6:02

Hi Benjamin, a masterpiece there ! First time i saw it and what a pleasure. So exotic picture from mongolia, contrasts are excellent but the best is the action you fixed when shooting.
Cropping square is well seen and gives a powerful impact.
All my congratulations :)

randompics (961) 2006-12-14 21:15

If ever there is a voting for the best picture in TE, I would undoubtedly vote for this one. It is an excellent shot. I am not sure if the frame is doing justice to the photo, but nevertheless, it is excellent.

     kamprint (29) 2006-12-14 22:17

This photo is cinematic in its depiction of the energy of the moment. The haze of the sand kicked up by the horses, and the more leisurely progress of the group in the background, also contribute to the dynamic quality of this superb photo. My visit to Mongolia was not during Nadaam; I would have enjoyed watching this scene. Stimulating that sense of wishing to be there is yet another mark of an excellent photo. Congratulations!

suhan (3552) 2006-12-19 4:40

one word;
wonderfull!

banyanman (7797) 2007-01-15 23:54

A fabulous shot, Ben - it looks just like those paintings of the horsemen that you see in Mongolia. Perfect timing and composition. I am not sure whether the separation between the foreground horsemen and those in the background is due to just the dust haze or whether you have partially desaturated the background - either way it is an effect that really enhances this image. Cheers . . . David

pari_ali (433) 2007-01-18 22:13

Awesome picture it looks like a scene from a movie or maybe a fall back on the days of the Great Khan himself
You have captured it beautifully in all its glory especially with the dust rising one can almost hear the thundering of the gallopping horses

ChrisJ (171222) 2007-01-19 3:23

Hi Benjamin

This one popped up in the featured destination. Wonderful symmetry, sharpness, & pov. A superb decisive moment, capturing both horses mid air. Tfs!

devimeuxbe (58557) 2007-01-23 0:38

Hi Benjamin
probably one of the most beautifull picture i have seen on TE.
For the dynamism, for the colors, for the sharpness, for the contrast with the background.
It is a great picture.
Well done

Hi Benjamin,
This is a truly great shot. I hadn't seen it previously but it happened to be on your introduction page when I opened it. You've captured some fantastic action with beautiful colours, wonderful depth (helped by the dust behind the leading riders) and amazing detail. Your image quality is really impressive and the overall composition is as good as I think is possible to achieve. I also found your note very interesting and informative.
Excellent work, my friend.

Hugs,
Tony

Olá Ben, there are days in our life that are unique and remembered for a long time. That's what I feel in this 5th of August of 2006 of yours. This seems to have been an incredible festival and you are showing us a very interesting series of it. It reminds me my experience in the Camel fair in India, from which I didn't even start a series.
Since this successful one was in your featured photos, I decided to make a visit and contribute so it may be reach some kind of record... :))))
I feel like I'm inside a movie...or travelled back in time, 800 years. It's a superb action shot, but you already know that. Congratulations!

It strikes me that Asian men are usually somewhat shorter than their Western European and American counterparts. Here, these guys actually look taller than their horses! These must by some county fair ponies or something... they certainly don't look 16 hands high at the shoulders!

alford (4063) 2007-05-31 22:14
