The orange text feels out of place here for me. With that aside the photo itself looks really good I like it a lot. The colors are great, and the scene is very beautiful.

hey there from the CC Club :)
Nice capture ... and definintly could be fauna ... all depends in what region you are in - right? :)
the detail in the moving horse is excellent ... the expressions on both of their faces add a nice touch too :) .. even the DOF with the trees in the background sets the image off nicely ... my only quirk i guess would be that i'm not quite sure with the composition though ... the horse is in the middle of the image and something just looks kinda off ... did the horse just jump over the poles on the ground? it's kinda hard to figure out whats really happening in this image .. or more of what made the horse react they way it did ..

over all though it's an awesome fun shot :) keep up the great work :)

Greetings from the Critique Club!...

COMPOSITION...I think you've done a wonderful job of capturing the feeling of spring and displaying wild plant life. I don't know if there were other angles that could convey the abundance of the flowers better, but you picked a pretty good viewpoint, where you can see flowers from foreground to back with little hinderance. The wild grass growing in between the flowers, especially in the foreground, is slightly distracting...but your only option is to individually pluck out the foreground ones...Perhaps the bottom right corner could use a nice big flower since there's so much space there, but its a minor detail...

TECHNIQUE... Some comments (but not many) wanting more DOF...I think a small/large DOF will either work, but if it is going to be small, I would place more of an importance in having the foreground completely in focus than somewhere in the middle... Lighting's great, slightly backlit? The light on the flower is traced around their edges giving a very pleasing effect...

Good subject, excellent timing. I wonder if a tighter crop would have worked better, a least I think you should have cropped this "thing" on the ground.

Pretty. The camera angle gives the photo depth and brings the focal point to the flowers near the foreground. Nice work.

what is that horse doing? looks crazy, a landing? I think it would be nice if the shot showed more to why this horse is so crazy looking.
