I like the ambiguity of this shot. Hoping the viewer will be forced to linger. Buying time to allow them to see the detail in the tail and feel the grit of the 'grain'.
Thanks for looking.

Good use of the lighting and composition i think the image is lacking some emotive sense maybe choose another area too shoot from.

What makes this attractive is the detail and lighting of the tail and the well-judged spacial relationships between the bottock, background and tail. What isn't so attractive is teh border and noisy processing. I would love to see this in a cleaner version. Great idea over processed.

Very different approach to equine photography, and I sorta like that in and of itself. I'd wonder if this might be visually more abstract if you had stopped down in order to keep clarity in the background. Then, you would have two parts of a horse you don't often see photographed along with the background, further complicating the scene. This might not fare well here on DPC, but I think it might be an interesting venture as an abstract.

Quite like this one. I think the grain works well here.
