Such interesting mushrooms. The one on the right looks like its been exiled from the rest of the group.

Library or study hall? Nice light for that. A smidge of perspective correction would be helpful.

This portrait is so endearing, the gentle side of a Cowboy and the warm edit makes it even better. One of my favorites in the challenge.

I gave the picture an 8 because I really, really like it. The profile view doesn't bother me at all. On the contrary: it adds an extra layer of intimacy to the portrait. Authenticity - you're absolutely right. I also love seeing his hand on the reins; it adds to the story.

I just wish there wasn't that other person in the background. It's okay since the hats don't overlap, but without it, I would have given you a 10.

Sometimes a title works well and helps the presentation. This is one of those cases. The image has a fairly sturdy point of interest. Seems like the timing / exposure may have been a bit harsh by the actions potentially taken in post to compensate? The texture is given away in a couple of ways; the foggy piece in the lower left, and the strong sense of grain especially in the dark sky area. For me it makes it feel a little muddy. Some may like it. Just a personal opinion. One last nit, sorry ... but why such a wide comp / crop on this? Did you look at it with the left side pulled in a bit? Anyway. Good luck in the challenge.
