Ghost in the pasture...

I took this shot a few days ago. Purposely focused on the branches and blurred out the horse in the background. It pretty much came out the way that I wanted it. Minimal cropping and correction done. Even with the focus on the branches to the left, does it still feel too centered:scratch ? Overall, what are your thoughts?

Thanks in advanced for your comments, critiques, critisism, etc, he he:D !

Natalie, I think that the composition is just fine. You may have moved to the right a little to change the angle which would have shifted the horse more to the open area a little to the right of the branches.

I would have metered on the lighter grassy area to keep it from blowing out as much as it did and then if necessary I would have brought out some of the detail from the darker background in Photoshop. I believe the horse would have taken care of itself since it was already a light color. The branches and leaves are bright enough that they should have also taken care of themselves as well.
