I just went browsing through my 10's to refresh my memory and what my top votes had been on. There on the top of the list is this photo. 5.6??? I thought this was a good enough shot to get one of the 32 10's I had given out since becoming a member. I must admit I never expected this one to score quite so low. Not a bad score, but I still thought this one would go a bit higher.

Thanks to all those that commented and those that voted. This one was my best score yet. I am slowly improving and I owe that to all that offer advice to novices like myself. Thanks again.

I like it. Variety of textures. The horse shoe colors go with the leather. A bit of green in upper left and lower right. I gave it an 8.

Great textures and tone. I would have liked a little more contrast.

7 - Met the Challenge. Nice composition and capturing of the colors. Criticism; Whilst I like the colors, the grass for me is a little distracting/detracting, so I wonder about b/w or sepia. Alternately, if either the grass filled 'a corner' more or even gave a top/bottom 'frame' of sorts, perhaps this could have worked well. That far tool in the grass needs to be in frame, and there seems to be 'something' just above the 'foot' of it, perhaps a twig not sure. I think this photograph could work 'blurred' as well, but for me, I would like to see a sharper 'edge' to the tools, including the leather. That bottom left tool (no idea the name), in my opinion, needs to be either all in or 'half out'. I like the angle, though a slightly sharper one might have given more of a 'feel' to the metal of the tools.

Nice composition and fits the theme perfectly A little bit of everything to shoe a horse. Good technique and it should be a ribbon winner 10
