One of my three 10's. I love the work you put into this, even if you didn't do the carving it is still excellent. Great lighting, very nice depth of field and the title is great.

Greetings From the Critique Club

First Impressions:
wow! Great photo! love the pov

Technical (Comp, lighting, color, focus):
you got this at a good time of day for the back lighting and you did a nice job with the fill flash; wonderful composition; I think the boarder is very well done

Challenge:
you got it

Artistic/Emotion:
I'm not sure, but I think it would take a horse person to really connect with this photo. Or maybe just a horse lover. (I myself am a former horser person and still a horse lover)

Summary:
I love the pov on this picture but it maybe where some of your lower votes came from. It could be a not so flattering angle to some folks. I also see that folks commented on the noisy sky. Yeah, that could be an overall problem, but I really don't see the sky as I'm looking at the horse. The best suggestion I have would be a little added light towards the forhead and ears.

Very clever you get a 9 for your effort, as I'm sure you spent a lot of time carving these up.

Great idea for this challenge. I like the composition used, although that on camera flash definitely detracts a bit (it would have probably been a good idea to bounce that flash off something.
