Would have been better if you could have gotten an unobstructed view.

That's a bizarre scene. I presume it's a frozen geyser?

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

Interesting to do a critique on your image but it is difficult if you don't give us any information in your photographers comments. When we do a critique, we go past just the photographic result, that's what voters comments do. The critique looks at what you were trying to achieve, how you wanted it to look and what issues you had in getting the image captured and ready for voting.

First Impression - the most important one:
Interesting .. but missing something ... the crop is a little strange.

Composition:
This is where i think you have issues ... the balcolny is almost straight - but not quite ... because of the angle of the shot the eye is a little confused.

I think that with a balcony shot like this it would have been good to include the bottom or at least a little more of the balcony. but another option would be a right crop of the balcony and grey bricks ... this gives a good focus area .. and really pops the image.

Subject:
I am not sure of what the literary reference is .. but I sure it meets the challenge.

Technical (Colour and light):
Playing with brightness or light in the post processing may have helped - but the focus is a little off ...

To grow its vote?:
Try again with the cropping ... and play with the contrast and brightness .. these are things I tend to use ... and they seem to work.

Summary:
Not your best scoring and through a little more post processing may have been better ... but you did good .. keep it up.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

I am not really sure about the color. My husband thinks it might buckskin.

SWEET!!! I like the composition of this shot. I might have more negative space in front of the hooves. What do you call his coloring?
