Horse Show Jumping

A horse and rider jumping a fence during a horse show event.  It's nice when we can find a clean background at a horse show.  Typically, there are people, tents, buildings, etc. that add so much clutter. Another bonus for this shot is that the background is dark and the horse is very light.  The subject is framed nicely between the standards and contrasts nicely against the background.
This photograph was taken at nearly 9:00 AM, well after sunrise, but the sun was partially obscured by clouds so the lighting was quite even.
400mm lens, 1/5000 second at f/2.8, ISO 200.
