Give the shot 2/3 of one, 1/3 of the other (a la Rule of Thirds).Shot 2: I think a shallower depth of field to soften the background would have been nice here. A slower shutter speed to add a little dynamic sense of motion would have worked well here and some breathing room on the right edge so the subject appears to be entering the frame instead of exiting it would really help. Horsey's nose is almost to the very edge of the frame. Maybe pan the horses to blur the background and give that dynamic...Shot 3: Crop, crop, crop. The subject is obvious... GIVE it to me. HIT ME with it. What's with all that superfluous fence and anonymous spectator and what not in the background? It's weakening your otherwise strong subject.</blockquote>
