Donkey Ears

8 - Never mind the donkey ears, what about those donkey eyes.

Despite the grainy/noisy noise (which I kind of like), it does seem a little odd that that isn't carried over into the rest of the image (which, not to contradict, I like the smoothness of as well). Just seems like a little more attention/time (especially around some edges) in pp, may have refined this photograph and produced a higher quality image.

9 - Very good. Excellent title. 'If only' the top of that lamp post - but this is probably one of those moments that there isn't enough time to get it all (maybe you don't even care for the lamp post).

Family Portrait

7 - Ha. Wish the clarity was a little better.. but good little family portrait (just in time by the look of far left, but plenty of time by the look of far right). The b&w works well.

7 - Nice moment captured - sure wonder about this tweaked a little more as is to make it pop more, especially a slight crop adjustment to allow the horse to dominate more (but of course depends your desire for your subjects)... Perhaps also a more dramatic image in b&w/tones, but of course, your call. As is, the dress/colors of it, perhaps dominate a little too much for me and detract from the connection between the two and that good look from the proud equine.

7 - Unique and beautiful. Looks like dew, either way I hope it was natural and not sprayed on - the main reason I 'think' that, is what appears to be artificial lighting bottom left - which takes me out of the 'fantasy world' that those jeweled wings create. Has potential for a variety of 'pushes' in pp, even subtle to bring this to life a fraction more, in my opinion.

"Hindsight"
by Rmac

Comment:
8 - Nice title & 'concept', nice image - nice scene, good lighting, good detail, wish it were 800 and some minor adjustments in pp, like the branch coming in on the right middle to top the fore oof leaves (minor) and the sky color/exposure upper right. Not sure if it is gamma issues, but some black/dark areas on the horse's knees and chest seem a little funky. Really like the way the mane is almost perfectly 'laying' on the neck and the tail contrasted by the morning/evening light making it 'glow'. Up to 8 from 7.

Partners II

Comment:
8 - Special capture - these Icelandic(?) wild horses have such a gentle face. I realize the light is falling in other areas, but wonder about some 'brightening' in pp on the face of the main partner, just subtle, but so his/her face can be equally visible/dominant in this excellent image. I do like the detail in the fur/hair - and the stance. edit: to correct what is (and should have been on viewing/commenting!) quite obvious
