This was truly one of my favorites, of course, I just love horses! I had the same thought when I first saw the photo since the dark hill did draw my eye down from the horse. However, I scrolled the photo so that was cropped out, and it lost some of the impact. Taking that shoulder point out, also changes the 'look' and feel of the shot. Having that shoulder in there, gives her length and makes her apepar more statuesque. I decided the hill was a good contrast for the light reflecting off her her shoulder. Beautiful shot! Congratulations!

I went through almost the identical thought process, and ending up coming to the same conclusion. I love this image, and in fact, most strong, powerful images of horses, especially yours.

My big question is: when, OH WHEN, am I going to get to see you in the top three on the home page??? With your images, you should have been there long ago; your work is stunning and inspiring. Oh well, it's only a matter of time!

I should not have entered this shot. Boken is way too minor, as commented, and thanks.

Am staggered by the amount of 4s and below on this image. The foal is touching her mama along her entire side, and of course nursing is nothing but touch. And it's sharp with decent lighting, composition and toning. Maybe people think how tight the crop is doesn't work--but of course only one comment to indicate...

That cow is so angry with his situation he can't even look you in the eye! If that gate ever got opened on acciden,t I would run, that cow has a vendetta!

Awww. That is so sad to see him like that. On the other hand, it really makes me hungry for steak. ;-)
Great shot - almost think you should crop the top down to the top bar, but I don't think that would work well. For challenge interpretation, this is one of the better ones I have seen. Best of luck!
