Premium Photo Competition 2015 2 : Entry Number 123

Smoke and dust and as if another time, this could be a painting. Great photograph!

What a nice surprise! My name is Younes Kabbaj (from Hong Kong) and I took this photo with my wife's Leica Q (an excellent camera). It was taken in Morocco during a fantasia. This is a contest between teams of horseriders where the winning team is the one in which all the riders fire their gun at exactly the same time (making it sound like a single shot) and as late as possible. And of course the horses are galloping at full speed... The dresses, the horses tack, the dust and the smoke make it really look like another century scene and I am honoured by the judges finding my photo reminds them of a painting. Thanks again for organising this great competition.
