I love the contrast and the use of negative space.

Some nice toning in this entry. Too bad there is another horse in the BG(Rh side) which doesn't allow for much separation of the adult horse from the dark BG. Still, nicely done and a high score from me.

A touching family portrait. Cute mohawk thing on the little horse. Probably an actual name for it, unknown to me though.

Excellent compostion and exposure bring out the best in these two - great details and, quite obviously, lots of love.

what kind of horse is that...such a long face...I know that's a feature of this breed but I can't think of what it is...excellent picture...lighting is superb and your tones are done really well

The photograph is great but, tehre is a curved line on the top right hand that makes me question if it belongs to the horse or is part of the bokeh?

incredible tenderness, that's what makes me think of this photograph, the animals often show better than men. My heartiest congratulations for having seized the moment.

Beautiful composition and tones. I would have liked a little cropped off the top and a little environment showing there. Still, a worthy entry.

Very nice, though I would have probably cloned our what appears to be a third horse in the background on the right.
