This image did very well for you to get to the top 20! The sepia tones and your choice of subject was great. I also like the low angle of view looking up to the horses. I also like the diagonal formed by the reins. The only suggestion for improvement that I have is that the far left horse has the top of his head and ears cut off in your framing. I think including them and perhaps a little more of his body on the left would have brought that horse's face more into a power thirds position creating a slightly stronger composition.

This shot needs a rotation to level the water line and the dock. Otherwise, a very pretty peaceful scene.

This is a strong dramatic photo - well lit but shape is not my first thought when I look at it.

While shape is definitely a component in this shot (the wooden blocks) - the child's face at the top draws my eye away from the shapes - because it is a face and because that is the brightest part of the photo

This is an excellent portrait -but I'm drawn to her face rather than to the shapes.
