This is the horse who with the mule provided the poop we collected yesterday.
very dark, but not black, so the light brings out a variety of colours in his coat, mostly red, though from a distance he is dull brown. Hard to get any kind of good shot - he either moved away or towards me.
Shot was overexposed even having set the minus EV. Slight rotation, crop, and I think I converted in channel mixer and did the usual other things.

Yes, I missed the mouth, and continue to miss it.

Nice choice for B&W. The tones are wonderful!

Excellent job on everything. If you get another chance at this active young horse you might get the mouth next time! "D

I like the strands of hay hanging in the mane. And I like the windows in the background. They balance the heavy close up of the subject. I like the b&w conversion -- nice contrast and light.

the perspective and close crop really emphasizes the long noise on these noble beasts
the choice of b/w is smart here to emphasize the tones and textures
i agree that the mouth missing is a bit unfortunate - but you did capture one great eye!

I like the close in angle but personally don't like the mouth missing, maybe an even tighter crop as it feels like it's only just been cut off. Lighting works well and the fact it's not washed out the windows is good
