Comment by CNovack:
Love the silhouette of this cowboy and his best bud, the horse. Also the composition is very strong with a frame within a frame - the dark barn acts as a frame that shows us a moment frozen in time as the cowboy gets ready to saddle up and ride his horse. I also like how the background is in nice focus showing us the outside environment of trees and fence. We really get the sense of a ranch in a forested country. Another strong element in the photo composition is the choice to have that backdrop in sepia. That gives us the feel of not only a time of the ol' west but it also compliments the main subjects which are in silhouette. Color would just compete and draw the eyes attention away from the main subject and may or maynot add to the mood that you have captured of the ol' west. Good job.

What a nice shot, I love the horse nudging the cowboy - it implies a real bond. Good use of negative space, too, and I like how the silhouette is only partial.

While I'm not sure how much this has to do with 'chemistry' per se (except for the dictionary), it's an engaging, well executed photo

I love it: composition, square format, tones. The stance of the cowboy and the horse - I can feel nearness between them. The stand of the horse - it seems so obedient.
Don't know why - the picture gives me some sad feeling... But a very good photo.

I should suspend disbelief a bit here, maybe there's just something I'm not getting, but why have you got a lizard looking at a dictionary?

sorry. Good photo though.

Effective silhouette. Nice subtle details in the background. The positioning of the man and the horse works well to create a strong connection between them

nice composition - angles make it more dynamic
