That looks like fun

hmmm wondering what happen to my last comment... anyways...u don't neccasarily need a "fast" lens. If you shoot at say F8 and a shutter speed at say 1/125 (guessing, adjust iso to fit) you should get a good blurr effect, and enough DoF to get the whole player in focus if he switches plains on you or is coming toward you. If you shoot through the fence you won't be able to use a 50mm without getting the fence "lines" in the shot. then you just have to shoot at a higher s.s and a lower f stop like 2.8 if u have a fast lens to do so.

It 's a pity that the background is slightly overexposed , just imho....Nevertheless, a really nice picture

You can't really tell there's a flower in the background in the bottom one (like your title)

fantastic

You can see the yellow center and the white 'ears' in the background...

Cute. I love dogs. is that a boxer or pitbull?

Thanks, she's a pitbull

That's awesome to know that some people in this world actually have a heary for them! They can be the most loving dogs, and will usully always want to obey their owner, so that is why they fight, when the yare trained to fight.

Great, lovely colour and detail

Interesting. Looks like a cross between polo and lacrosse. Where is this played?

You are right Kyricom - it's a cross between polo and lacrosse. Predominately played in Australia but now it's over the world. You can only have 1 horse during a game unlike Polo so it's a little more affordable as a family game.

Wonderful shot, but would be better with some of the foreground cropped.

Thanks Friiskiwi - I replaced it with a better picture - less forground but I don't know what happen to the high res - I'll try again.

It might have something to do with the size of the image. This one looks great, but will hold my vote waiting for the Hig res, GL

Wonderful shot, great clarity and detail

Thanks again Friiskiwi - finally managed to get the high res up. I think I simply forgot to tick the high res box when in edit.
