I like the idea but find the flare just too distracting

You have a great soft focus effect going on. the glare above the horse is a bit distracting.

To much abberation from the sun. It makes the photo seem washed out.

Nice photo, the light circle is a bit distracting though. Excellent other than that!

I do like what you tried to do with this image, but I fear that the cropping of the image, coupled with the sun flare will cost you dearly. Good luck.

Nice shot. Would've liked to see the entire horse.

Nice image... the lens flare is a bit distracting though, maybe could have shot from a lower presepctive to try and reduce.

The sun at the top is a bit distracting, but I love the way the horse is backlit. Nice.

The lighting is a little harsh. Just too intense, causing the glare over the horses body.

Nice idea and I like the silloutte effects, better without the sun glare though

Nice backlight, but the flare takes over a bit too much for me
