    You're only as good as your next photo....
    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    I think it's a great horse shot and a very pleasing image overall. I'm not sure how strong it hits the theme though. It really depends on the judges' perceptions.

    Go with your gut...I wish you the best of luck!

    FWIW - My wife loves this shot. She really likes horses.
    She says it works for the theme in the sense that you have a human hand and a horse face.

    I agree with Greensquared that it is not a strongly theme compliant shot but the image itself is very pleasing.

    Hey Carl,
    The horse's portrait/face is beautiful. The cropped hand feels a bit awkward though. The hand is too clenched to give much impact. Remember, you don't need to incorporate both themes into the photo. Consider cropping the hand off to just emphasize the horse.

    Thanks for the comments!! What I was trying to do to show the conversation through the reins between the rider and the horse. The rider is just using two fingers and the horse is responding to her 'requests'. Without the hand the title would not be conversation.

    hmmmm....let me think.

    Ahhh... Now that you explain it I understand the title and your interpretation. It is very clever, but perhaps too obtuse for all of us that don't know anything about horses!

    Very good, I think that conveys it succinctly!
