Wonderful! Perfect timing, fantastic angle. I love those matted balls of snow, even under the jaw. It's a wonder they can stay warm.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

What are the odds that a professional horsewoman would draw this one to critique? Very interesting stance in the foreground horse, that rested hind leg indicates that he is at ease. At a guess I would say the b/g horse is a possible successor to the foreground horse, who to my eye looks quite a bit older. B/g horse looks to be younger and in much better weight.

Now onto the shot. Very dramatic pose, setting is amazing, and the camera settings are what I would expect to see in this situation. Lords-of-the-Rings quality to the shot. Would love to know if these are feral or domesticated horses.

Overall, how can I find flaws in a shot that I would have given at least an 8 had I voted? Even knowing it's been pp'd, I can't see it.

Gorgeous shot. Great work!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

This is a very pretty image. The placement of the horse in the BG could have been more flattering.

The deep blue of that sky is amazing! The horses are gorgeous against it.
