    Good pic, well composed. clap.gif

    I would have preferred to see the eye more clearly with less shadowing on the left side of teh subject.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I like it a lot. :D

    Horses are actually a bit difficult get good portraits of, because they're curious about everything and move around just when you've got a good composition going.

    This is perhaps more of a landscape with a horse in it, but it works. You've got the horsie and the place it lives in all wrapped up. Good work! thumb.gif
    Creativity's hard.

    wow, thanks for the feedback guys :D
    I was shooting in the late afternoon, to get the nice light. I think I agree that it would be nice if the horse's head was turned just a little bit more to capture some more light on the face but I dont mind it how it is.

    Like the way the light falls on the side - showing the texture!

    Horsie looks a little worried though? Did you say smile? mwink.gif

    Nice shot! thumb.gif

    I would have captured a little more horse by moving my feet slightly to the right. That would have helped your light too.
