Nice composition. I like the use of light and shadow. The flowers are really beautiful.

Would be better without the shadows. Also crop a little more off the right.

Critique Club

Yeah, just a horse. There's always something to be said for entering a competent photo in a challenge - and it seems to me one can always guarantee a score of a low 6. There isn't really a hell of a lot to critique: as I say, a competent shot. The thing I'd consider is the nature photographers maxim that the eye is the natural point of contact with any subject - get that in focus and your shot will be OK, regardless of the rest. I'm not saying that this eye isn't in focus - but what it is is very weakly placed in the composition. I wonder how much difference it would make to re-shoot or crop the image to put it on a stronger line?

My other thought is that tonally this is perhaps a little weak for dpc. Had you included the white blaze this chap(-ess?) seems to have on his/her forehead, you'd achieve the privileging thing with the eye, give us some variation of colouring, and from the look of the left edge of frame perhaps have some deeper shadow to play with too.

Just thoughts, obviously.
