Hi From the critique club.

Sorry I am writing this from work so no template to use.

First impression

This hits on a couple of different perspecitves - but if it is the boot in the stirrup I am meant to focus on I can not make it out clearly ... I am concerned that the black and white is overkill - but others don't seem to have mentioned this.

Subject

Meets the challenge - but as mentioned i think is a little on the dark side:)

Composition

Good this I really like ... cropping os the main of the beast is on thirds ... cool idea.

Brightness and technical stuff

I am not sure ... I like natural light .. always have .. but in this picture the boot itself is lost ...and I think the reason is the black adn white ... the contrasts in this don't make the boot pop - like it would against the natural colour of the horse.

Final note

I think this is cool. You did good and I know are going on to better and better pics.

Private message me if you wish any clarifications.

Cheeers

The boot prints in the soil are really interesting.

Nice idea. Backfocus shows sharp hoofprints, focus and more illumination on boot and stirrup would be better.

very flat, no real definition in the shadows. there is a lot of dead space on the right.

Love it - the off center subject with a cool horse and nice textured sand really makes for a nice shot.... I did not even notice the boot at first - just the stirrup - great lighing effects... wonderful composition

I would like to have seen more of the boot. I like the idea, just want to see more of the boot.

the focus seems to be on the sand and not the shoe...
