I took this shot at a local festival a few weeks ago with a Pentax K1000 and 50mm lens then developed the film and printed at my university. I would love to get some feedback on the shot and see what the community thinks could be done to make it better!
It looked like a pursuit, but in reality, it was a peaceful movement.
I see these comments on many photos - BTW - those who are putting comments like "Needs Work" should elaborate to say what is needed according to them.
Mia is a natural in front of the camera. She knows where the light is and plays to it in a soft, knowing way.

Fantastic moment! I can't say anything about printing as last time I've done it like 20 years ago :P Dang, I need to buy an enlarger now... :D
I like the way you used the spectators to frame it. And the 3D border with the black frame is nice. It really focuses attention on the subjects. And you stopped the action with pieces of the broken lance in the air. Tough exposure as you were looking into very bright sky. You did a good job with a that.
I wonder how this would have looked with a little slower shutter speed, to add just a tad of motion blur?
Thank you for the feedback! I agree it could have looked interesting with a slightly slower shutter speed. Slowing it down and playing with time is something that I am currently just starting to try with film .
Try a different angle next time. It may impart a sense of motion that a straight on shot can't.
