This week's PotW has been selected by craig.rohse...... Craig wrote:My picture of the week is Image #4 from A Day At The Hunt by inmotionHe has captured the jump perfectly, the composition and detail are great showing the horses in action and the look of determination in the rider's face. I like that inmotion took the photo from low to the ground shooting up as well. See the thread here: A Day At The Hunt

Craig,
Great choice, of an image that is simply stunning.
Jim, you've truly excelled with this shot. Action, angle, colour, excitement ... you've got it all!
