Yours is one of a few photos that should have finished higher than what it did. I really don't see how some photos made it in the top 40 ! I have to wonder about our voters sometimes !!

Absolutely perfect for this challenge. Beautiful detail on the horse. I love the way you played down the rest of the photo. 10.

Great job with the toning, makes it look old. I might like to see the border toned down a little, but it's not really enough to detract from the shot 10

Looks really aged. Doesn't fit the challenge that well (Movie Titles, not movies), but many pictures don't. Nice crop. 7.

I think this is more a picture denotes a scene from the movie. Nothing wrong with that in itslef, but if you hadn't seen the movie, you wouldn't know the relevance of the photo. However I like the crop. I find the border a little "heavy". Good luck

I like the tones you have used here , fits the era which was late 30's. Could pass as an old postcard ! What a movie and what a horse ! Well done !

teh border is a bit too much. some areas blown out (hands, leg of rider, sky) part of that might be on purpose so to speak but the parts of the rider are distracitng/drawing my eye. nice and sharp.

Sepia works very well giving a nice old feel to this shot. Blown out in a couple spots, but dosn't hurt it that much. Fits your movie theme well. Great job.

I like the crop. Emphasis is on the horse while still introducing a bit of interest with the rider. Sky is a little harsh but all in all a nice photo. The tone goes well with the era too.
