Up Close and Horse-nal

This is an interesting crop and I am wondering if it was good to crop at both ends of the head or not. Cropping at the top is no problem but I am not sure I would go with the bottom crop. It isn't a big issue just a personal niggle. The rest of the composition is excellent. The detail on the horse's head is amazing, you got the focus bang on there. The title is funny, in fact the whole is image is very good.

Lovely flowers. The lighting is a little unbalanced. The front flowers are getting maximum lighting and the back flowers are too dark. Otherwise the composition is very good and the color combination is bang on.

The color combinations here are awesome and mix so well together. The crop is tight but it works.

Nicely blurred out background thanx to a shallow DOF. The background is a little grainy but it isn't such a big issue here. The lighting may be a little too harsh on the tips of some of the upper flowers, but overall a very good image.

The lighting on the water creates an amazing effect which in turn makes for an excellent background. The bird is standing very majestically there, as if you ask it to pose for you like that. I like it, you did well here!

Were you patient and waited for this or did you train them? Anyway, it is an excellent capture with a fantastic composition. You did everything correctly with this image! The shallow DOF, the lighting, the focus, everything is bang on, congratulations on a top photo.

Everything is in focus in this pic which is necessary as a shallow DOF would have blurred the back duck. The composition is fairly good, everything is cropped evenly. Personally, I would have liked to have seen a little more of the reeds at the top, but that's just me.

This is good! The composition is good with the butterfly in the lower left hand corner. The shallow DOF works well, although I would have tried for an even shallower DOF to blur the flowers at the lower left. They are a little distracting and compete with the butterfly.
