An absolutely stunning barn shot. The lighting, the tree and the presence of the horse all combine to make this a truly memorable image. Well done indeed.
7 - Nice scene, sky is gorgeous. 'If only' a little more light in the fore to bring the horse into play more and, could just be a visual thing, but the land and building looks like it needs a whisker nudge up on the left.
