Stunning shot. It reminds me of your On Watch shot I favorited earlier this year. Congrats on a high finish in an extremely tough field.

Very much like the head-on view. Great contrast, composition, texture and feel to this.

The missing head of the horse on the cover of the album Drunkard´s Prayer by Over the Rhine. Great album. Great horse portrait.

I love horses (all animals, pretty much), and I like the light and tones here. Except for the light eyelashes above the pitch black eyes. I find myself wanting to see those eyes, to be able to connect. It's almost frustrating not to see life in those eyes.

the tones are so rich - wonderful

The eyes look kinda 'dead' with no catchlights, which is a shame as it spoils the shot a bit for me; still, I like the processing otherwise, very nice focus on his face, good composition, a beautiful animal.

Well I'm figuring this will do well for you for sure. Lovely lashes, nearly entered a horse shot as well. Good job on the PP as well.

Oh god! Breathtaking! aagghhh!!! I LOVE this!!

Coming back to this again - my choice for the blue. This made me very emotional for some reason. Would love a print of this. This is ART.
