Caution: Horse Crossing

I like this idea and the angle. From the thumbnail I thought maybe this was a real horse (that would be hard to do!) I like the shallow dof makes it seem a bit more real. It is a bit disappointing tho - that it isn't real.

Tremendous! I really enjoy this one! The composition is superb and the colors are very good. The use of DOF here is also something to be noticed.

what in the world is that thing? I can't tell if it's a horse or some sort of a monster.

Comment by Dave Gordon:
Great timing; the horse appears to be perfectly mimicking the one on the sign.

a little too much yellow in the background, maybe adjust your white balance on your camera for the indoor lighting

Man, this should have placed much higher. And looking at it again now, I wonder if it would help it out by cropping down from the top of the shopper's heads, cuting out the bright spots. But as I've learned myself, don't let your score dictate to you the worth of your shot, as its been said in the forums, its simply because it doesn't have mass appeal.

My original comment (though maybe a little harsh) still stands. I like the shot in general. I DID make an assumption that the photographer (You, Ami) had more controll over the shot! Anytime that anyone with our camera has a shot that they think is worth entering is IMHO an accomplishment! Good job Ami!

Hmmm this didn't do as well as I thought it would, probably because 9 ppl out of 10 can't comprehend what you are talking about? Not sure... Don't worry about it keep the great shots coming!

Oh man, missed a 5 by .004 points. :(

Yes, I realized that "obscured" didn't work until just after the voting began, it should have been "undefined" like Pepette said. And the picture was rather boring, hence why I chose the one with the extreme DOF. The title did factor a lot into making it interesting, that's what I was going for.

Yay, JamieWillmott noticed the tiled horizon! The leading lines in that were just too cool to pass up.

Hahaha! ChrisW123- I was going to enter one taken at the same time with the title: "Through the Eyes of My Dog"

I should have probably put something into the foreground to pull some interest, but I was on a limited schedule and it didn't occur to me. Not to mention I felt a bit silly for putting my camera down on the ground in the middle of a shopping center. ^_^

Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment and vote! And you too, bruchen!!
