Very nice, Rita. I'll bet this was an interesting day! I see some people didn't like the dog, but I strongly disagree with them. This could be a story illustration.

Nicely done. Love the shadow and light balance and that horse is beautiful. It looks like a fairy tale all by itself.

Beautiful horse. The concept is good, except for the dog. The dog really kills it for me. This would have been a knock out with her on the dark horse calling me into the Enchanted Forest. imo.

Oh, beautiful horse. Fresion? (I know I spelled that wrong.) Those are great horses.

I like the 2 subjects (dog and horse). Add's greater depth. The bush/tree also adds to the framing. Well done.

I think I've come back to this at least 6 times while voting...I love that you have not extracted a character from a story and slapped it onto a dull and lifeless background...you have left it intact, transported the viewer...and what a gorgeous horse...well done.

that is one beautiful horse. I would have tried to shoot that closer up and not used the dog, or put the camera on the timer and stood in the shadow yourself. I still really like it though, just what I would have tried :) 8

Interesting image. Not sure if I am quite digging the dog in it, but the woman on horseback looks awesome. That horse sure looks like something out of a fairy tale. WEll done.
