 i took this photo on Saturday while my girlfriend in D.C She had been telling me for a while about a big park just down the street from where she lives, so.. we finaly decided to go check it out, here to find out in the park they have horse stables, the place offers trail riding and lessions but i we were just there to admire their beauty, It was a little dark and flash was prohibited but i did get a few good shots. i took this photo throught the cracks of a fence that was along one of the stable,
for this image i choose a crop and just did some minor adjustments,brightness, unsharp, and adj the blacks..

Critique Club Review:

Color, Saturation, and Hue: N/A image is monochrome.

Brightness and contrast: Contrast is good, brightness seems a little low.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is nice and sharp, depth of field is excellent for this image.

I think the biggest problem with this image has already been pointed out. The eye came out dark and featureless. Had the whites of the eye come out properly, I think this image would have scored much better. When the eyes are not right, people tend to vote an image down. (Evidently something must make them uneasy about odd looking eyes.)

I wish the eye was more visible... it looks like a black hole

Wasn't this posted in the forums for editing tips? I can't remember who by though. :) Maybe just a photo very much like it.
