It is a lovely animal. The high key is a tough sell for me but I think it works pretty well here. 7

This could be a fine pencil drawing, I love how the white of the horse blends in with the background :) (+1)

Now this is one fine piece of art, I like the high-key effect and the focus and composition are great. Very well done and good luck to you.

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge well

Hah, I love it! It encapsulates very well the idea of the pursuit of the lofty ideals we impose upon ourselves in the name of the New Year resolutions. It's a great pose that you carry off well, such poise! I love your anxious expression which adds a subtle touch of humour to the image. Technically its good and all done at 22mm, well done. The lighting is good and even with barely perceptible shadows on the background. You have done well to get such good results in what was obviously a very confined and restricted space.

I wish you every success in your resolution and along with Ecce_Signum I wait with baited breath to see what you're up to this time next year! Happy New Year to you, may all your images be stunners.
