Kadillac Kashby
karenkComment by jpochard: Hello from the Critique Club!
I do not check the score or other comments prior to writing my critique.
One of the first things I do is try and figure out on my own which recent challenge the photo is from. No problem with this one!
My first reaction is that it is a good sharp photo of the horse with some movement to it. My second reaction is that I wish it was a little different setting and lighting.
The lines criss-crossing in the background from the fencing are distracting to me and take away from the horse. Your focus on the horse is spot on and your colors are nice. Unfortunately, the lighting that day is very flat. It gives a nice even exposure, but no dynamics to the shot of a dynamic animal. I hope that makes sense.
Overall, for this setting and light it appears you did a very nice job. The photo on its own, however, just lacks those special touches of good lighting and nice background.
I would have given this a high 6 for the challenge.
Hope this helps!
