Beautiful textures in the leather and the lace. Lighting really brings it out.Soft focus kind of gives it a romantic feeling.

Wow... this is beautiful! I love the lighting, color of the sky. This is a very moving photo for me. I feel as if I'm standing there looking at the barn. Great work :-)

I had to look at this several times before voting on it. The soft focus is done well, but something about the shot feels strange. I still haven't figured it out, but I like the shot.

very clever idea bit it looks abit out of focus
I like what you have done the the reflection of the horse in the eye
Maybe a little over exposed
Fits the challenge and a really great idea.

I like this type of picture. Large eyed animals with almost a second picture in the eye intrigue me. They always make me think of what the animal actually sees.
I think the votes could be along 2 extremes on this one and I will tell you why.
I have 3 monitor screens 2 standard CRT's and one LCD.
One of them is calibrated to what you would call "true colours". The second - what you would call average man off the street settings and the LCD standard out of the box.
One the Calibrated monitor - your picture looks great - On the out of the box it's OK
On the out of the box LCD it looks rubbish.
THAT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!
On the LCD it is almost completly washed out but as the eye still looks very good it appears that this is how it was meant to be (I checked it on a laptop tft and it looks equally bad.)
So I think what will happen is it will be considered overexposed by many. This is always a problem with lcd's
On my calibrated screen though it looks fine.
