This was truly one of my favorites, of course, I just love horses! I had the same thought when I first saw the photo since the dark hill did draw my eye down from the horse. However, I scrolled the photo so that was cropped out, and it lost some of the impact. Taking that shoulder point out, also changes the 'look' and feel of the shot. Having that shoulder in there, gives her length and makes her apepar more statuesque. I decided the hill was a good contrast for the light reflecting off her her shoulder. Beautiful shot! Congratulations!

How did you keep from choking? I'm not a smoker so I may not get it. Creative, strange, but creative

I am distracted by the blackness that surrounds that middle flame, very distracted since I can't make it out

I think the silo should have been in focus too. I didnt' rate these photos, but it may not have faired well with me. The background is where the attention is drawn and this is out of focus. I enjoy your work though, so stick to it!

Very nice, it appears to be the cat walking on the fence and reflecting in the bird bath. A unique perspective, but I am one that thinks it sould have had a physical mirror since it did say THE MIRROR should be evident. I enjoyed this attempt and unique look. 7

This took some plotting and planning, and other than the look up the nostrils, it is interesting! It's just my personal pet peeve though, to line up a shot so we are not looking up anyone's nose! Sorry, I still give this a 9

I like the idea/concept here. I wish it were not so dark and the kiss is a bit washed out by the light...but could have been intended. 7
