From Your Shot photographer Nicholas Paoni: "I love the clash of two powerful forces in this shot: the brute force of the horse vs. the steadfast power of the trainer. Your POV and wide angle lens put me right in the scene and almost make me feel like I might need to back out any second to avoid getting stomped on — and that is really neat. I also like that you used monochrome for the presentation and made the frame wide on the left side..."
