I like the square crop in this photo. It gives you are size perspective between horse and rider. This is the type of photo that would be great as a "sequence". By itself it isn't neccesarily strong, but included with other photos in the same scene it would be very strong.

Nothing's too good for my horse!

This is a very nice picture. I like how you used the frame on this one. However, as others pointed out the car is really the main deterent here. As for challenge apppeal, I am not sure. It seems a bit forced. I would have liked this photo if it were an apple better. That might not be true to the challenge, but it is truer to scene.

Let me mark the good points though, and there are really good points. The angle of the photo is terrific. There is good eye movement throughout the photo. I like the slight smile on the rider, the arch of the nech and head, and the anchor created by the fingers. Remove the car, and a bright red apple and I think you would have had a stunning photo.

This is a good shot. The expression on the little horse is wonderful and you captured a good moment here. One suggestion, I would have either cropped to the single horse here, or included more of the 2nd horse on the right. The other horse has a cute face too, but just seems a bit out of place. As for the challenge, I think this one would be hard for the DPCs to appreciate in terms of challenge context. The image is a good one!

Nice capture! anyway, I really like it but today I guess I am being over critical, and as people say they like constructive critisism I will let you a little of that... Theres a light yellow spot up the two (deers?) on the left, theres a blurry visible spot under the chest and beetween the legs of the deer at the right, and overly, I am feeling the image a little dark in the two middle animals.

Yep. That's a sexy back! :) The curve and the side angle are much more interesting than a straight-on shot.
