Such a classic shot done very well. Few nitpicks, top left corner, would like to see it completely black and whatever the color left in the shot should be desaturated.

7 - Nice classic, like your tones, although what looks like partial desaturation is at first confusing, because it is so subtle, grows on you. Like the saliva(?) captured, but after studying the image a while, gives a sense that this horse is discontent.. which uneases me as the viewer - but I don't know enough about equines to call that a fact. Like the curl in the mane too. Shame that the eye was not a little sharper, as some other elements seem to be... but I'm sure you're aware of that. The more I look at this, the more I see sadness in the image... I like your composition, but wonder about a fraction more off the bottom, for added balance.. but not sure.

Pineighchio suddenly gasped as The White Fairy touched him with her wand. Since his creation at the hands of the old, gentle chess master, he'd been a wooden knight that only had one dream.

Today, his dream was a reality.

"I am a real horse!" He cried.

The poor horse is frothing, he doesn't look good at all.

If it ain't baroque, don't fix it.


*grin* Sorry... it just came to me.

Good portrait. The black background really works. Nice lighting.
