Yeah, I was in a hurry and planning to change the title, hence the spelling boo boo. Thanks for the nice comments. The model got this on canvas as a Christmas gift from her hubby, she is very happy and that's what counts most.

The spelling killed you. ;-) Great job on this and you are right - you made the right people happy with this image. :)

7 - Nice moment captured - sure wonder about this tweaked a little more as is to make it pop more, especially a slight crop adjustment to allow the horse to dominate more (but of course depends your desire for your subjects)... Perhaps also a more dramatic image in b&w/tones, but of course, your call. As is, the dress/colors of it, perhaps dominate a little too much for me and detract from the connection between the two and that good look from the proud equine.

Nice shot. The dark sky is the perfect background.

Nice idea, but I don't really like the composition. The horse is cropped off in strange positions and there's a bit of empty space in front that doesn't seem to serve a purpose.

Also, the whole shot feels a little flat, but that could be down to the overcast sky.

The both look so comfortable with one another. I can feel the feeling of the breeze and the horse's fur, all at the same time! Wish I were there because your shot has made me want to be there! :)

The angle here creates a very strong comp and effect of the SUPER horse carrying the caring rider. Could not be comfortable bare back on the horse but then this is super horse...She does not gallop..she Glides.

Not sure about how the behind has been cropped? 7

How wonderful.

Just a wonderful image. This should do very well. The blue dress, the woman's skin tone and hair are great elements enhanced by the wonderful grey horse. 9
