Caption: Grey Abby, ridden by jockey Gary Lee, jumps
the last fence on his way to win the Betfair Bowl
Steeple Chase on the first day of the Grand National
meeting at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool Friday.

Critique: This photo has a good dept of field. Most of
the horse and the person riding it, the fence and the
grass are all in focus. There is a little blur at the
bottom of the horses foot. The subject is not centered
so the rule of thirst comes into play here. There is
some dead space to the left of the picture with the
sky being shot with nothing in it. The dead space kind
of goes with the photo becaue the picture wouldn't
look good if it just showed the hores and the person
riding the horse. The angle is dramatic because it
makes the subject look big and important.
