Thanks Dom for taking the picture! The horse is her lovely new Tennessee Walking Horse, previously named Merlin, now named after General Robert E. Lee's famous grey, Traveller.
I've already done Horse Trainer, so didn't want to self-plagiarize too much. I was thinking of calling this 'horse whisperer' but I'm not fond of that term.
So I settled for 'animal communicator', because I do communicate with animals just through such simple stuff as handling and training them.

POST CHALLENGE: Lol at what people think I was saying...I believe I was telling him to turn my way so his muzzle would hide my boob :-) What a good boy! |

I very much like this! You really do seem to have a way with the horse - it is quite intent on listening to whatever you're telling it. Probably "no carrots for you if you don't pose!" or something to that effect. |

should have called it "horse whisperer" JK I like this interpretation if you are a horse trainer. Could have been a bit sharper IMHO. |

The sky is burned. the colours are a bit dull. A bigger close up might have helped. (and no watch) |

This could use a bit more contrast, otherwise nicely done. |

seems washed out, either adjust curves or be sure you are uploading in sRGB |
