I absolutely love this photo! The use of the sepia added such a dramatic effect and certain 'feel' to this photo....great job!

You have met the challenge very well.

I really like the way you have chosen to compose this shot. The horses provide a nice focal point for the eyes to "rest" on, and the "negative space" (for lack of a better term), forces the eyes to go to the left side of the frame. I also like that one horse is further back which helps to draw the eyes "into" the frame.

The focus is great, and it allows the detail of the horses and surrounding countryside to show up. Part of me doesn't like the coloring, maybe a bit too red/orange/brown, but it does help to show the dramatic clouds in the sky.

Great work, this is an awesome shot.

Best to you in future challenges.

I like the tones very much and you've also acheived very good perspective between the horses and the background. The sky also adds interest, but I think that the upper third of the picture could have been cropped out without losing anything. Well done.

Nice sepia tones and I like very much how the subjects are off-centered... good work, Lilia

Love the pic. Hate the border. Actually, hate all borders like this. Nice horse, though.

I like the look and the feel of this work. Sepia works well. I like the texture of the sky, looks like it was a gloomy day, it really creates the mood. My second 10 so far.

Your title really makes it for me. Their expressions, the sky, the coloring... incredible.

Nice composition! I would like to see it with the empty area cropped of and in black and white to emphasise the contrast

Nice scene...and beautiful photo work. Thanks

I really like the feel of this shot. The use of space is great. The menacing clouds overhead give it that "tornado coming to Kansas" feel. And your border is tasteful and not distraction, like so many in this challenge. Oh.. and it goes all the way to the edge. I almost want to give you bonus points for that, but you don't need them.

Magnificent tones! Composition is inspired, with the sky adding so much depth and interest to the shot. 9

  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow really nice. Maybe you should have tried to get more black tones in this and slightly more contrast. Very cool shot and I love the clouds and perspective. 8.

Excellent shot! I love the clouds and tones. Good luck.

Beautiful ... I love the subtle lines in the sky. An interesting twist on leading lines to subject ... here, they draw me away from the major subjects to really see the details throughout the scene.

Nice job, like the composition. (Sky looks painted?)

Beautiful! Nothing you could have improved - 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/25/2003 05:22:10 AM
Great shot, I'd have prefered this perhaps a touch sharper. The composition is stunning, I love how their gaze leads your eye towards the empty foreground on the right. The sky is very atmospheric. This might have got a 10 without that border, which I REALLY dislike. Your photo would have been far more effective with a different one. 9

Unbelievable mood capture...

lovely sepia use. 8.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/25/2003 12:23:26 AM
It's a great shot but perhaps cropped a little too close as the bottom. Also, I'm not sure that the border is really auited to this shot - it has a modern feel to it. The clouds, horses and colours are lovely. Well done.
