Bumping even as I find my OCD wishing it were cropped down a bit to balance space on top and bottom

Stunning capture. Might have liked just a little more foreground detail.

I really like this, but what's keeping me from loving it is what is and what is not in focus. Your focal plane is so narrow that you have the center of the bags in focus but most of what you're showing us isn't. I would have preferred the leading edge of the bag be in focus and it's not (I even put my old man peepers on to make sure). Would have been near the top for me otherwise.

No idea what you started with, but the shadowed areas are still too shadowed for me. You've got a lot of frame taken up, show us what's there.

I get why you wanted to show the whole horse, but it turns a photo into a snapshot. There's a really good photo if you crop in.

I hate still life, in general, but this is really well processed ... except the textures. I could live without them.

I love everything but the road running out of the frame before it (sort of) turns back in. Given the square crop I don't know what you started with, but the processing is wonderful. I just might have sacrificed a bit of the sky and pulled up from the bottom a bit. Really good. Could have been a ribbon for me.

Well, Mark, this should almost sew up another FS crown for you. Well done.
