Hello from the Critique Club!
I do not check the score or the other comments before writing my critique.
Well - it's easy to see which challenge this was for (part of my critiquing is to try and place the photo in the recent challenge without checking first.)
I did go back up and read your description and the photo matches your comments. It has the feel of someone who just put the camera up and snapped a shot without prior planning to create much more than a snapshot.
The composition needs major improvement. The ears are cut off, the nostrils have become the prominent feature of the horse (although out of focus) and the bottom of the nose is cut off. Pulled back just a bit and even just a little to the side would have made a big difference here...as opposed to the straight on out of focus shot.
The focus and the composition are the two main elements I would work on here. It appears that you need to step back and/or close up the aperture to give you better depth of field and more of your subject in focus. Also, not sure what size file you have but it appears a bit pixelated. The lighting isn't too bad, although a bit bright and washed out. The horse also has blue hair :) Not sure what camera you have used, but be aware of that blue fringing in high contrast areas.
I would have scored this a 4 in the challenge.
I hope this helps!

| Focus seems off up and down across the image. There are also major jpg artifacts present throughout the photo. The image size is only 20kB - you are allowed up to 200kB. That alone would have eliminated most if not all of the jpg compression artifacts. |

| Interesting choice of angle and crop. Doesn't feel like anything is in focus, yet it's not overly blurred or unpleasant. I like it. |
