Deep blue color of eye works with a sepia. Good composition and shallow depth of field works well.

Some folks may think you are just using this as an excuse to put up a horse picture and vote it lower... the cades!

Nice image, good job.

Nice shot of the horse. Is the eye naturally that blue? I don't know much about horses and wasn't sure if they could have blue eyes. - 5

A very surreal take

Really pretty, I'm expecting to see the horn coming out of the forehead. Unfortunately the eye is covered with the hair, and it seems to be a little soft. 5

A bit light for my taste. It would be great if you could keep the colour of the eye at the same time as darkening the rest of the photograph.

Really a great shot! I can see the unicorn's horn just outside the image's view. The blue eye adds a lot and the washed out whiteness (although I think it may be a little too much) really adds a lot of innocence and purity. Very nice job. (8)

I love this shot. It looks like it could be an alien. I'm hoping that it is only a horse..lol
