This is very nice. I would have given you a high score had you entered it in the challenge.

I really like this one - that one petal is just reaching out to touch you... trying to find something to grab hold of and pull the rest of itself into focus.

I love the gold color all around on this one. Makes for a nice contrast to the white petals and their subtle bit of yellow and green.

I like this crop the best. Is there any way that you can lighten up the eye slightly, the whole shot has an almost polarizer filter effect to it now which has darkened everything so possibly just go a bit lighter overall and you will see more eye detail? Okay I know I am being picky LOL but the eye is where the impact is so you need to see it a bit clearer?

Nice shot Jimmy, my favorite subject. My only concern was the almost oversharpened look of the forelock, eyelashes and face. As this was a straight out of the camera challenge I assume that you used in camera sharpening?

Looking at your edited version in a recent post in the forums I also like the second edit, close crop of one eye.

Edit to add : I also love the fly on the cheek LOL

As a horse lover, this is excellent. The kind of portrait you don't see much of with horses. The closeness lets you focus on the eyes and also lets the strong bone and vein lines really add character and strength to the shot. The colors are beautiful - nice tones and contrasts. Nice job Jimmy! I love it!
