You nose that I love you

This is a pretty nice shot. I get a subtle mix of emotion from this rider, love but also some fear, like the horse might be skittish and the rider is worried it'll do something unpredictable.

If I had one constructive comment, it'd have been to include the horses eyes in the photo, to get some idea of its emotions.

What a whimsical bizarre photo, I like it. :)

Thank you all for your comments! It is exciting to have done so well on my first entry. I'm a newbie, though, so I am going to put out my fair share of rubbish while I hone my skills.

@Posthumous and ubique, thank you for the awards.

@Tiny and Mariuca, I did in fact take it as a complement that you thought this was the work by another. So thanks again.

@jpanguluri, would love your thoughts on what poses you felt might work better. I'm always receptive to constructive criticism, it is why I'm here in the first place.

@dali_lama_2k, it is like you said, given the choice between embracing title and subject matter, I went for title. If there is ever another book challenge, I'll definitely see if I can figure something out that embraces both.

@cinnabear, I'll end up in the dog house if I tell my wife she looks like Cousin It in this photo :) Thank you for your kind comments about the composition. :)

@tanguera, yes, I really did float a watch in the tea. Well, it wouldn't float, so I stuffed the tea-cup with paper towels first, lol. I originally wanted a reflection of a watch and not the watch itself, but I couldn't get that to work out.

Out of curiosity, did anyone notice:
1) The crease in the right bottom corner in the table cloth, and if so, did it annoy you? It annoys me!
2) The 'easter-egg' for anyone familiar with "Queen's Tea Time"?

I liked how the shadow of the man is headless here.

I'd have liked it if the diners were less blurry.

I like the composition in this photo. I sort of wished the store had things in it that were more unusual.

I liked how the trees here look like little smoke stacks.

I wasn't sure what I'm looking at here, so I didn't quite get the connection to the title.

The blurriness didn't work for me, and I didn't get the sense of royalty from the subject.

Lovely cat. :) I think this would've worked really well if you could've gotten the cat shot at night or in a dark room, with the car stalking toward the camera.
