This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 10s (I just bumped it from a 9) - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. Horse pictures normally leave me cold, but this one is special.
2. The extraordinary use of a deep depth of field. Inspired.
3. The mixed use of high and low contrast, from bottom left to top right.
4. The Icelandic feel!
5. The communication of a physical context - the image is placed in the world, and with that us too as the viewer.
6. That telegraph pole top right - it offers much in terms of offering scale and depth.

Overall, this is magnificent.

This is so incredibly touching, I feel like crying, if this isn't on the front page......I'll eat my right shoe! This is my third 10 so far.
All the best.

You have really conveyed the cold and bleakness well, who'd be a poor cold pony? Lovely mono conversion, works well, a high score

I love the placement of the horse and the house in opposite corners.
