Yay - it held over 6 and made your top row! Congrats! And a darn cute shot (and great title) as well. AND as a bonus it sounds as though setting this up was a blast. I've recently been playing with flashes, too, but don't have half this much creativity as to what to flash. Nice work!

Congrats on finishing with a 6+! I thought it was cute. It reminded me of some stop action cartoon I have seen but for the life of me, I cannot remember what it was. Great job!

Hey there from the Critique Club

My thoughts on the image: Your clarity and crispness are fantastic. I also like the tones you captured on the horse itself. Overall, the image feels too bright, and there are some compositional issues that precluded this one from breaking that 6 range.

My ideas for improvement: Single Delvista out and away from the rest of the pack and shallow up that depth of field. The horses in the background are very distracting, particularly because they intersect his head at such an awkward spot on the image. I'd also fill the frame more with the horse's head, especially with such a bright, relatively boring sky.

Where I would have/did score this entry: I did vote on the challenge, and I gave this particular image a 6. It really fell somewhere between 5 and 6 for me. I do think that it met the challenge well, but I'd like to see a much different composition while still meeting the challenge topic.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Certainly portrays a relaxing afternoon on the lakefront. Comes off as a snapshot to me, I'm afraid.
