I gave this a 10 and am really surprised that it didnt finish higher. Great shot, definitely one of the most underrated in the challenge

I like this crop the best. Is there any way that you can lighten up the eye slightly, the whole shot has an almost polarizer filter effect to it now which has darkened everything so possibly just go a bit lighter overall and you will see more eye detail? Okay I know I am being picky LOL but the eye is where the impact is so you need to see it a bit clearer?

Nice shot Jimmy, my favorite subject. My only concern was the almost oversharpened look of the forelock, eyelashes and face. As this was a straight out of the camera challenge I assume that you used in camera sharpening?

Looking at your edited version in a recent post in the forums I also like the second edit, close crop of one eye.

Edit to add : I also love the fly on the cheek LOL

I think this must be Cristy. I love your shots of this horse. He sure is beautiful. Great eye shot and considering his color and the fact that it is straight out of the camera it is wonderful. Good luck
