What a bold idea, and a wonderful, stark image. Woody Allen would run screaming from his monitor! :D

Great idea, great image. Love to see this one where the subject is further away = more lonely?

Very high score with me.

Beautiful, surreal effect here, and a bold idea to emphasize the sky so much. Excellent framing and a VERY high score with me. Well done!

Intense artistic statement. My highest rated picture. Brave, bold crop and composition. I like the dark eyes as well. WoW!

Thank you to all who commented on my first entry here at the forum! Your thoughts were instructive and inspiring, and I hope to be able to return the favor for each of you.

The saddle was retired from the Morgan Horse farm in Middlebury, Vt and kept in a dusty hot (!) junk tack room illuminated with one window, which fortunately had a roll down shade.

I turned the EV way down which helped bring out the contrast and rich color.
