Yup, nice improvement but i still prefer the original crop. Nose here is much much better. The splodge of green behind his head still detracts for me in the way the original crop doesn't. I think it's because I understand what it is in the wider crop but here it's a bit confusing.

You've made life hard for yourself here by taking a brown horse against a brown stable wall so he will tend to merge into the background.

Take him outside next time or paint the stable white

Forgotten Water (JPG-based retouch)

Comment:
I think you've got this one spot on

You've booste dthe colours just enoght to make them stand out and the grass is a lovely colour with great tones.

The only comment for imrovemnts I have, and it was a struggle to find one, is the twirly long stem of grass upper right. I'd clone it out.

(I was struggling to find a suggestion for improvment)

I like this photo but I feel it's a shame you have lost the colour of the original and have ended up with an almost monotone finished photograph.

The contrast and texture is better in this example in both the sand and the sky. I just wonder if you could have achieved the improved contrast without losing the colour?

I know were only supposed to comment on exposure but excellent composition.

pity the light is on the back of the bird but a great captured moment anyway.

Further Clarification : I think front lit this shot would have been far superior, as back lit subject the light isnt strong enough for the effect, i think, you were after. The wings dont "glow". Just my opinion, no offense meant. (score unaltered)

Really like this, Love the dark sky, soft clouds and the motion blur. I would have scored this very high in the bird challenge.
