Rob, I liked this one in the chllenge as it's bold and rich. I like the perspective and rather than another barn/field/cows composition, you have a horse that's lovely against the rich grass and sky. Nice job!

I like the flicking tail and the diagonal created by the horse's body.

the diagonal made from horse's tail to face makes the composition dynamic. nice work.

Beautiful color and saturation, and a cute shot for sure, but the perspective on the horse makes it feel odd to me.

I like the angle and the swooshing of the tail makes me smile. Good color contrast between sky, horse and grass. A fun photo to look at.

nice POV, very good color, good sharpness, well composed - would even have been better to include the whole tail. the OOF blotch at lower right distracts, though

What a pretty place for a horse. Nicely done.

The flick of the tail makes the shot. Perfectly exposed and the focus is great. Nice balance and composition. One of the better ones.
