Photographer's Note
Up and Away
Walking at the end of the day I discover this beautiful scenery, it was getting dark, all the same it seems that a special reflector was lighting the typical Mongolian scene of a rider jumping up his horse and then disappearing in a fast gallop
It happened so quick that I could not try to communicate with the man or better compose the capture, the blue rope crossing it has a ring where the horse was tied

Hola Maria,
Cheers for the swift action managed and taken the Mongoliqn rider. We do not see many photos on TE from this (far) country. I am overwhelmed by the stunning green hills, and the beautiful horse in shining brown contrast.
Buen fin de semana,
Ike

Ciao Maria
una splendida vista della Mongolia nella quale uomo e natura concorrono alla bellezza dell'immagine. Un cavaliuere ripreso in una splendida luce, mentre l'immensità della natura si perde verso l'infinito.
Complimenti: un ottimo scatto
Ciao e buon fine settimana

Hello Maria,
undiscovered beauty.Good to see some pictures from less touristic countries like Mongolia.
What I liek here the most is the combination of so fabulous soft light and excellently saturated colors,which thanks to the light appear to us "warmer".
Magnificent composition!
Have a nice weekend

Une belle lumière de fin de journée baigne cette scène.
Bien sûr dans ce genre de scène, je règle en mode priorité vitesse et je photographie en rafale.

Hola Maria,
I like this picture very much, I find it captivating. There's a fantastic connection and interaction between the vast green landscape, the softly coloured sky and the man mounting his horse in the foreground. I love how you have frozen this fleeting moment, your picture is a fascinating combination of action and tranquility. At the same time, the warm light falling on the subjects in the foreground make them stand out in a superb way and gives to the scene a theatrical quality. The repeating patterns of the poles are also very intriguing. Sharpness, depth, lighting and rendering of colours are amazing. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
Ourania

Hola Maria.
Esplendida imagen, de este jinete mogol que has captado en el momento, en que estaba subiendo a su caballo, por cierto sorprende el poco tamaño del caballo, pero su estampa es fabulosa, has captado una luz muy bonita de final de tarde.
Muy buena la gestion de la luminosidad y de la nitidez.
Disfruta de una buena tarde de domingo.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

Hola Maria,
nice the view of the place that is covered from the 'green' carpet.The presentation of the native as jumping up his horse this hour of the day makes the image even more effective and unique.The wooden poles creates depth in the image.

Even though you had to take this in a hurry, it is a wonderful composition. The man and his horse forlorn in the empty landscape. The wide sweeping hills convey a good sense of space and wastness of the place and the green is so pleasing in that gorgeous warm light.
have a good evening

Hello Maria,
In this picture, you have managed showing so many unique Mongolian features. The low-sun rays are highlighting the rider and his horse in such a way that both are looking bright and contrasting against the green hills. Excellent shot of this dynamic scene!
Best regards,

Hola Maria,
great scene indeed. The landscape is very interesting already with the grassy field stretching to the horizon. The light was good as well resulting in the long shades here. The horse rider is obviously the highlight here, very well seen and captured!!!

Bonjour Miss Maria du Sud,
What a fantastic setting this is, the backdrop landscape looks quite surreal under this magnificent lighting. If it weren't for your main subjects, I would think this was a painting.
Beautifully simple and colorful, you couldn't have hand picked a better moment to capture the essence brimming from nature. The soft shades of blue sky work in perfect harmony with the vast green fields.
I'm not sure why exactly, but the rider and horse look disproportionate to each other, one's too big or too small!? :) Great management of a fast moving opportunity, it may not have been exactly as you hoped, but the result is just as appealing to my eyes! Wonderful shot chere Maria. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Be good.
Friendly wishes from the Northern half,
Jason
