This is a shot of a black horse and I can see lots of detail on the black horse (nostrils, eyes, two legs, etc) for me this image does not meet the silhouette challenge.

I am not voting in this challenge, but this is NOT a silhouette..... it is merely an under-exposed photo of a (otherwise lovely) horse photo.

This horse reminds me of Mr. Ed. He looks like he is about to say something important.

Nice shot of a great aircraft, but I'm not sure I can consider this either a panorama or a close up.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I gave this a 6 in voting partly cause I'm a suckah for wide-angle stuff, and because I could see you put some effort into it. Again I can see lots of the same kind of mistakes I made. Like the edge of the church spire looks jagged - that usually means a little too much sharpening has been going on. There is a way to reduce the amount of sharpening you do, so you can still get the best of what sharpening can do without overdoing it.

I would watch for things like the glow around the cross atop the church; the fact that you used this church and a religious mural should do all the talking for you. Adding the glow seems to me belabouring the point.

Colours are good, look a little saturated but not overly so. The lack of human activity is both good and bad because this has a bit of an abandoned feel to it with no people there; but nor did you want to shoot just a parking lot full of cars.

Keep on shooting and entering!
