Only with eyes of faith can you see the unicorn's horn. This is a most magical shot.

Nice photograph. Other than the fact that your photograph is technically good I really like the way the trees on both sides look like walls. Very nice photograph that almost got lost in the huge amount of entries. Bump from a 7 to a 9.

Great composition, a nice capture of a moment between parent and child (at least, that's what it seems like).

Cool shot. I love the tall trees to frame out the photo.

Nice 3D feeling of depth with the rows of trees.

I feel like they are trapped between a wall of spikes, but who cares when you have mom with you.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wonderful shot with a creative title. I like the way the trees frame the trio and make my eyes center on the rider's face, making me wish I knew what was being communicated.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 10:13:39 PM
This is a clever composition ... the eye has nowhere to go but to your subject ... well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Oh gosh I want to find a forest like this! WOW!

Very nice shot.

This is great. Love the setting in the row of trees.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:31:33 PM
Really like this one. The way the trees frame it, the diagonals which lead us to the figures, the excellent light. 8

Nice shot, with a good natural border created by the cedars.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:33:28 AM
Fantastic shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:52:13 AM
The leading lines are great. I also like the slight movement of the horses head, it brings even more life to the picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:09:44 PM
The tree "hallway" is beautiful. Incredible ground color; works well with the soft color in the trees, horse and rider. The blue parka is kind of distracting, but the scene between the man and the rider is intimate.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:18:27 PM
Very distinct sense of depth here. Colors are a little over saturated.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:15:59 PM
All you need here is renaissance clothes. Cute subjects. A little over sharpening on the horses chest but good feel and story.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:15:42 PM
Great uses of the trees to frame the shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:39:55 PM
I love the path through the trees! Pony's face looks OOF whilst stirrup is in focus ...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

great capture - poor quality
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks like it was a fun day.

 03/12/2009 09:36:39 AM
Great framing from the lines of trees. I like the contrasting colour of the ground against the white horse
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautifully framed. An excellent capture! 10

wish horse was in focus better but great composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:31:03 PM
Good DOF and well framed. Pity the horse's head moved.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:01:57 PM
looks like you need to be able to ride in a straight line thru those woods! Nice photo...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:04:13 PM
A warmly endearing shot. A little tighter composition on the child's face would have bumped it up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:42:08 PM
Interesting subject and compostion in between the rows of trees.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:07:28 PM
Such a shame the pony's head is slightly out of focus and that it is not looking at the camera. Those two things would have made such a difference to this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:13:11 PM
Good title. This is simple a cool shot. Congrats.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:55:19 PM
Lovely repetition and depth of field.

Hi Wendy! I didn't score this one since I had seen it, but I really do like it and would have scored it high!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:52:30 AM
Neat framing; looks like a tree farm of some kind with the even rows of trunks.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:52:29 AM
Wow, looks like a fairy tale.

 03/11/2009 05:39:54 AM
Better without the adult

Great capture! Love the intimacy of the moment.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:10:36 AM
what an excellent shot...the trees leading you through the photo...just wish the head of the horse was in sharper focus...you will need to remember this spot
