Rich and evocative, beautifully composed. Separation of hair from BG on left is fantastic. Perhaps use healing brush to mute the nose higlights slightly? Very strong image.

This is one time that I think the harshness of the lighting adds to the photo. This shot is filled with emotion and I love the rich tones as well. I think it might have been slightly improved with a little looser crop keeping the elbow in the frame and leaving a bit more empty space to the back of the subject. I think that might have emphasized the look of complete concentration.

The background to the right is a bit distracting, but otherwise I can't really see much wrong with it. Nice, but would probably have been much, much nicer in B/W

This is great...very nice work. The colour on the horse and rider are great in contrast to the whiteness of winter!
