My specialty is "portraits in motion" and nothing better than a manly man for that. Stallion attitude! Hoping for top ten, it would be really bad if I can't top ten as a professional horse shooter. However, a smashing landscape can beat an action shot around here! Or a heart-tugging relationship image.

post challenge. This one goes down in history as my biggest misjudge of voter preferences ever. Only 45th, in my pro specialty, with the rarest kind of shot that one can make of horses in motion.

Gorgeous image that IMO is much, much better than it finished here.
Beautiful color/light, nice DOF, tack sharp, and dramatic. Nice capture all the way around. Conveys the playful "snort and blow" "Look at ME" expression, to me.
I'd love to have had an image like this of my own stallion.
Ditto on your post challenge comment. PLUS when the shot looks like you are in mortal danger?! what are voters thinking? you were seriously robbed here my friend. seriously robbed.
no vote but drop dead gorgeous image. I appreciate the difficulty in getting a shot like this. a rare image that you have mastered. Love the drama in the light and so amazing that you kept the shady-side eye-light and the highlights on the body so well. A true master of horse images.
Not sure I'm comfortable with the angle of this shot. It's almost as if you startled the horse. But aside from that and my compulsion to want to crop off the white blob at top-left, you nailed the dof, light and colour.
