Hi Carma

My name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
hmmm .. blurry ... and blue .... neither which seem to work with this shot.

Composition:
the top of the saddle lines to the horizontal thirds (this is good) ... the stirrup his the vertical thirds .. this is also good ... I would probably have cropped a little wider ... as it seems slightly too tight at the moment.

Subject:
Meets the challenge in some odd ways.

Technical (Colour and light):
Ok ... get a tripod .. and don't be like me .. USE it ... I think that some of the blurring is camera shake .... have a look for neat image they have freeware available and this may hel with some of the grain in the shot, and try reducing the blue channel slightly in the colour balance.

To grow its vote?:
Take another shot ... and try applying some of what was said in the processing .. I think this is just the learning phase you are in right now .... you are still doing ok.

Summary:
Good work ... keep praciticing .. it will happen.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

White balance looks off to me.

Like the idea. But needs better focus and not such blue light. A warm color light I think would work well with this image.

This does not meet the challenge - inanimate but not an arranged composition of objects.

This could be interesting if you play with it some more (perhaps cover the rack with a blanket under the saddle, and add something leaning against the saddle) and if you improve the focus.

Focus is lacking, lighting is odd, and the composition could be improved.

The photo looks slightly out of focus. It would be better if it was sharper.
