Greetings from the Critique Club.

Great challenge concept, this is a very unique idea.

I like the poses of all three horses (individually), but they donĂ¢€™t seem to work together visually. To my eye, the image is quite busy. I feel that one or even two horses would have made a great subject, but three seems a bit like visual overkill.

The composition of this photo feels a touch claustrophobic to me, as if the right side of the shot was cropped a bit too tightly. I feel that more room on the right would help open this shot up and give it a touch more visual stability.

Black and white was an ok choice for this, but I wonder what the color image looked like. Like someone mentioned previously, the horse in the foreground seems a bit overexposed and its color is probably fairly washed out. Did you try shooting this with a faster shutter speed or smaller aperture?

I hope this helps,
Quadrajet

looks like the first horse is a bit overexpoaes, is that why you made it b/w?

I really like the cropping and the way you captured each horse doing something different...nice job

grass and water make a nice background for the three horses. NIce b&w choice. Wish the front horse wasn't quite so bright and theback two were brighter, but what can you do - this is real life! Not a studio,
