Easter Blue

Comment by K3Master:
Bold move to keep the shirt saturated, as it'll probably get hit hard by the anti-desat movement that's about these days.

Personally, I would have kept the eyes saturated as well to help balance the photo out, although if they're hazel/brown/etc. it wouldn't have mattered much. In which case I would have kept the shirt B&W. There's a bit of an issue with composition balance as well, as the upper part of the photo doesn't really add much, and takes away from the feel.

Not saying, of course, that you should do these things, but that's how I feel when I look at it.

I love all the tones in this -- the patterns in the roots, the shadows, the water, the bright tree on the far side...

Lighting makes it look a bit flat.

A less busy background and shallower depth of field would help this shot. All the highlights in the back gound are somewhat distracting. Some nice fill flash would have helped too to get some light into the eye and give it a catch light. Try to get pictures of horses with thier ears pointing forward.

I'm curious as to how this would look in sepia tone - if it would give it an even greater "old-time" feel? I like the composition. For me, I wish there was just a tad bit more light.

You've spotted something good here and the lighting and focus are good too. I think it would be worth playing around with the composition too - shifting the window to the lower left maybe :)

Did you try cropping so the window wasn't so centered? I love this as is but I think I might love it a bit more if the window wasn't in the center.

I see what you were shooting for i think. Maybe a different angle and not so centered?? Still nice!
