Mask out the weeds and twigs when you do the sharpening. Your sharpening looks perfect on the horse, but it's distracting everywhere else. Otherwise, I love this picture! 7.

A nice entry and interpretation of celebration. The foreground looks a bit out of focus and blurry on my screen. I also wonder what this would have looked like if there was some hint of a blue sky in the background. Somehow showing more landscape to give an even greater sense of celebrating freedom?

Nice light, nice detail, nice background.
Nice record shot, but little artistic merit.

I think the "freedom" got lost a little as you can't really see the movement of the horse in the frontal shot.

"woah! oh my gosh!"--initial comment upon download.
the image is hard at first for me to comprehend because i have to scroll up and down to see the whole thing, and the closeness of the shot takes a moment to register what i'm looking at...but,
powerful image...it really conveys that wildness. i wish i could see the eye straight on, looking into the camera so that the viewer really gets hit with that wild eye. or a side shot including more of the horse's head to add context. very nice dof. very creative idea for an image. the skin has a bit of light bouncing off of it, which detracts just a bit from the eye, but the black lids direct you back to it. powerful.

Very nice photo. Good composition, great exposure and focus. Good detail. Awesome subject. Some voters may see the relevance to the challenge a little loose, but I quite like it. Great job.

pretty horse, awkward lighting. the left half of its face disappears into shadow, and the colors of the surroundings look washed out by the sun. i wonder what this would look like shot from other angles more complimentary to the natural lighting?
