Beauty as a young horse, full of life and promise. Lovely. 8

Excellent.

A well connected image - and a beautiful horse.

Processing really hurts this image though - the image feels noisy, but yet over-smooth.

Good collection of dead stuff. Voted earlier.

Comment by lunachicken:
This definitely ties well to the story. The light and the sky work well, but there is some weird spotting on the ground. The horse is alternately a tad over sharp, and a tad over smoothed in spots. 5

Comment by Denielle:
This is my second favorite of the challenge.
While the lighting is a little too harsh, I still very much enjoy this photo. The detail is impeccable. The rusty colors are great. The title almost fits... if there was a little dust at the bottom of the peeling areas, that would have really set it off!
Well done. Bumping to an 8

Fitting title. Nice detail. Like the angle you've chosen.
But there's something off I can't quite put my finger on.
I gave it a 5

I like the vitality and freshness of this. A good looking horsey with a gritty edge to the processing helps it along nicely. Good relationship to title (hard to go wrong here ;)) 6.

Beautiful horse, and perfect model for the challenge! He/she looks a touch over-sharpened though, since it seems to have sharpening artifacts on the face. A slightly different composition without the distracting tree in the background would've helped it too.

Well, I like the texture of the shot. It creates a painterly sort of prettiness on what is otherwise an unimaginative shot. In its favor, it is well composed. I like the trees and fences coming out of his eyes. It's a pleasing placement of the horizon. 5 for giving me something pleasing to look at.
