Toning into black and white was a good choice on a lot of levels: the mystery, and of course the grey that is yellow-toned in the tail and maybe elsewhere. The toning keeps our eyes away from the typical pasture unkemptness of the horse, and turns ordinary things like a woodpile and clouds into magical bits. Congrats on your score!

Their expressions are wonderful. I gave it a 6 even though there are some technicals to work on.

LOVED the softness and delicate colors! Perspective too. The title is a bonus.

I love the composition on this! The most under-rated shot of the challenge. Very creative. Sense of place. I gave a 7, would have given it a higher score if the dog's face had all been in focus/more depth of field.

I'm ready, I'm ready!

I liked this shot very much even though it wasn't a classic portrait, and gave it a 7.
