He-he. Another Horse(s) outtake? :-) Horses are quite popular in this month's Free Study.

The compositional decision is either a like/don't like scenario. The horse is looking directly out of the frame (being that it's on the edge). Some will like the intrique factor ("what's he looking at?"), others will not like the fact that the viewer is immediately directed outside the frame rather than being directed within the photo.

Just some observations. :-) BTW - I nearly missed the bg fencing. Is that part of the titling choice?

Good luck in the challenge.

Difficult

This image certainly raises a question or two...first, what's "Difficult"? Trying to see out the window? Second, what's that thing on the floor? Does it have anything to do with the title and the main subject?

B/W works well for presentation.

Hey, can someone please get that dog out of the way? It's ruining my view of the sunset. :-)

Sorry, but I find this photo rather unappealing and disturbing to look at.

I really don't understand the allure of this IR stuff. It looks so fake. Sorry...JMO. Good luck.

Duplicating my thoughts/comments here that were made in this thread ==> Methaphorical Road - DNMC? Shoehorned & Obvious?

Well, I gave it a 10. The image made me stop and think. That by itself is enough to say an image worked. Additionally, I considered a couple of other things in scoring this:

1) It takes fortitude to praise God publicly, and in the context of this challenge theme I think it was a great opportunity to do so.
2) I also figured the photographer was probably getting hammered on this so I tossed him a 10 to help lift him up.

On a technical point, one commenter mentioned the crop & aspect ratio of this. I have to agree that adding a movie frame type border (top & bottom) would have made the presentation stronger.

This should have been Top 10, minimum. Very creative - abstract, yet enough detail to drive the viewer crazy trying to figure out the who/what/where's of this. :-)

Something about this I really liked. Somewhat surprised at the final placement. I had this selected as one of my top picks and scored it accordingly.

Too bad you couldn't have incorporated a water drop in it somehow...then you would have made Top 10 for sure! :-P
