The horse capture is cool but the girl's pose is very unattractive. A couple of different shots of the same event (and an eye pleasing outfit on the cowgirl) probably would have helped.

Comment by HBunch:
Does this taste as sweet as the little purple clover? I remember pulling off the little petals and biting on the white area on the bottom. It tasted real sweet. This looks a little saturated to me. Maybe a little bright on the reds, but that could be natural, I don't think I've ever really paid much attention to red clover. Focus and clarity are ok, but the large out of focus one in the front/left is quite bright and quite out of focus, that it draws my attention. The green/red combo is very nice to look at. Overall a nice shot. ~Heather~

COMPOSITION
I think the composition of this shot is very well balanced. The eyes are drawn to the bottom left then pulled up the prop to the upper right. I obviously don't know what the background contained, or what your mobility issues may have been, but I think it would have been neat if you could have been "up" more and more on the horizontal with the plane. Or, if you could have gotten some good motion blur of the prop (not that I would want to be taken the picture when the plane started, but it may have added a touch of interest to the composition.

TECHNIQUE
The focus is awesome -- I can read the red sticker. Also, even though you have shadowed areas, the exposure is neither too harsh, or too dull. Very nicely done. You have captured details without blowing anything out.

OVERALL EFFECT
You have captured weather well, though possibly indirectly (which is fine by me!). The blue sky provides a nice backdrop, and the shadows hints at the sun. I suspect the subject of the shot may not have grabbed some viewers as immediately as it would others. This would be a great print for an aviation buff or pilot, or would look good hanging in a hangar, etc. For the general public, though, it may not do much. But still, it is an awesome shot.

Best to you in future challenges.

Lovely flora. The reds and greens match well together. The decision not to include a border was good.

Not only a pretty flower I don't think I've seen live, but it played a significant role in medical history...now, where's the four-leafed stem? With a little (hyperactive) imagination your view resembles a shot of those Easter Island statues...

I like the contrasting colors. I think this would've been a more effective pic if the DOF was a little greater.
