Too bad, I kinda wanted some colours. Good shot otherwise.

Ahhh, what a beautiful shot. Dead spot on for the challenge. Definitely stands out among the entries, not just another negative space, or something against an empty sky. A very pleasant scene that is easy on the eye, and provides good context for the main subject, and allows for the horse to nicely grab the viewers attention. I also like how your composition allows your subject a little room to breath, I have seen for some reason many entries where the subjects have been framed very tight in the corners. Great focus here also, another thing I have noticed through this challenge, many blurry subjects. I like your job on b/w conversion also. The photo has a nice tone/feel to it. Like I said, beautiful. Hope you finish well in the challenge. Great job.

Too much beauty around the main subject. Not really minimal, more pastoral.

Interesting picture. My first reaction was that the fence or building were the focal point, but the title said otherwise. But after covering the horse the picture becomes much less interesting.

I like this shot..it has a softness; almost a misty quality, yet the horse is the main character here, your eye is drawn in that direction because of the suble contrasts...9

I think that this shot MAY have come off better in color. It's hard for me to judge that, cause it could have been a cloudy icky day :-) But when I look at it I can see all of the color potential, and so the black and white seems to leave something to be desired.

i have scored this on the lower end of the scale becauise the eye is drawn first to the white roof of the barn then you realisethere is a horse. The subject should be an instant focal point imho.

I like to shoot at some of the same locations over and over. This looks like a place you could shoot again and again and get better and better shots everytime. I love it.

I love horses! There's a wonderful atmosphere in this shot...foggy day? :)

This is one of the greatest almost perfect shots that I've seen in some time. The detail is incredible. The framing and composition are spot on. The only problem is that it is very low in contrast for a b/w image. Work the zones more and you have the potential for one of the greatest b/w shots that I've seen here in some time, my own included! Would love to see the original to see if there is enough contrast in it to make this a great b/w shot.

Very pretty...I could probably use just a little more color

Great use of black and white. Very good composition, both with regard to aligning the horse nicely in the rule of thirds grid, and also with regard to having just the right amount of interesting things in the background: not too much to pull the focus away from the horse, but not too little as to make the entire picture boring.

really lovely scene, and I like the way the horse draws your eye because its darkness stands out, but I feel the trees are too light at the top - maybe you've over adjusted brightness or something similar? 6/10

Nice. Would have liked a bit more contrast.

nice bucolic scene - might be a bit busy for this challenge - but well done

Amazing! I personally would have liked a little more of a close up on the horse though, but what an erie mood the haze creates!
