A junior rider and her horse jumping a fence during an indoor horse show. I like the shot because the timing was good (not always the case). The lighting, though, was poor. Quite a few windows in the arena but still not enough ambient light for action. I suggested setting a couple of flashes on stands at one jump but management preferred that I use on-camera flash to enable shooting multiple jumps. That worked in the sense that I took many more photos but resulted in the awful reflections in both the horse's and rider's eyes, plus shadows behind them.
