Comment by ubique:
I love horse photographs, especially when they are about the horse rather than simply of the horse. One of the ways to achieve that is to crop it (or compose it) so that we don't see the whole of the horse. It somehow has the effect of getting the viewer beneath the surface; into the muscles and tendons and even the motivation of the horse. Maybe it's just because such a crop is unexpected that it liberates our imagination a bit more. Just like this. 8.

the crop and processing really help to emphasize the power of this animal. Good work.

FABULOUS! There is so much power in this shot. The tether really balances the tilted position of the horse, the colors are terrific, the background desaturated to perfection. A fave!!!
