This is nice especially the highlighting of the eyes. Contrast is very high though, maybe tone it down a little bit.

Lighting is a tad harsh to my liking. Post processing is evident, could have been toned down a little bit. Colors are good though.

Captain George Highlighted.

Very studio-like. Maybe crop more from the top.

Beautiful shadows and highlights especially in the eyes areas. You are pulled in by the eyes.

Samantha's Challenge

A girl and her horse ... what a wonderful concept ... illustrating the bond between her and her horse! I see portraiture more as a photograph or painting showing the face rather than the whole profile and taken in a more studio-like environment. Perhaps a close up of her standing near her horse while petting the horse's face or neck ... I think that would illustrate the special bond between the two more, and also would fit the portraiture challenge.

Good DOF, good focus on the face, good portrait. Dogs can be persons too.
