Breathtaking. Simply amazing.

Early morning

This is quite lovely. I think it suffers from a bit of what I'm going to call "under-effect" that I suspect is probably the result of somewhat less-than-striking composition. The colors of the water and the mud on the shore being essentially the same has a lot to do with this, I suspect. If I were you, I would draw greater attention to the leopard's (is that what atht is?) colors by experimenting with greater saturation of the subject and some selective desaturation of the surrounding environment. That, I suspect, could take this lovely composition and turn it into something truly fabulous. 6 from me.

The high key of this one definitely works. One small request: consider lightly burning the lips to give them just a bit more definition, and this one would be a 10 for me.

Needs to be darker...looks very overexposed.

Nice interpretive take on the challenge.

Man...this is definitely one of my fav's. It looks like something that should be on the book jacket of a novel, don't you think?

DNMC. No living subject, no portrait orientation...heck not even a title to try and persuade me.

Portrait of Past and Present --> (Horses and Cars)

Comment:
Very nice composition. Burn that left horse's features and the reins to contrast it better against the light, and maybe blur that background with the vehicles, and I think you'd have an even stronger and more striking piece of work.

Lovely shot with a beautiful subject. Would have been far better with some enhanced contrast and some creative editing to lighten that far wall.

Your post-processing her looks a bit over-compensatory, especially around the eyes, where it looks like an unsharp mask or noise tool was used a bit to liberally. Composition is otherwise quite strong.
