September: "Fenced"

This is lovely. It's the most emotive looking horse shot I've seen, probably ever.

There is communication captured and and cropped wonderfully here. It's brilliant. Just a wee bit too much post constrat perhps? (My LCD monitor, though well calibrated, is unforgiving of such things ). An easy 9. Good luck!

Very nice and right on target for the challenge. Exposure and color balance is great. Depth is good but seems a little ruined by the near-right tree. Perhaps if this were framed against the right border so as to break symetry with the narrow and more distant foreground tree to the left? Sheesh! Does that make any sesne? LOL.

Anyway... enjoy your 9, you deserve it! :)

Colours, contrast, compostion and cropping here are all excellent, imho.

I want to get in before the "frame sqaud" by saying the frame really des set this photo off, especially considering the DPC neutral background and envisaged flat white callendar paper. 10, good luck!

This is excellent compistion and execution in my most humble opinion. The desaturated looking sky and depth it causes pushed this to a 10 for me. Good luck!

Love the colour and contrast balance. The composition is top notch. 10.

The aparent cold environment here has indeed created a sculptured sandstone skin texture, beautifully captured by contrast and brightness levels. The pose is a great match. I might have been tempted to crop out the hair, leaving the eye and brow to lock in the statue theme. The lighting is excellent. Inspiring! Thank you. :)

What a lot of entries! You got one of only two 10s from me this time around. Well done!

Love the form and shadows here. Everything is right about it. I'm bumping from 9 to 10. Good luck!

I just love this shot. Not quite sure what it lacks for a 10... perhaps a slightly shorter exposure or angle of light? Love it though. The simplicity mixed with natural aging and the colour mix is just beautiful. Well spotted! (so to speak)
