It was amazing to see the chemistry between these two friends. They've known each other throughout the horses lifetime. Capturing their routines on photo was a priviledge and brought a feeling of peace and closeness with nature.

excellent capture. love the composition and colors, as well as the interplay between man and horse. good job! i hope this isn't getting overlooked in this super-sized challenge, and that you are getting good feedback. good luck with this, and all the challenges yet to come!
I don't like how so many people are cut up, ie, the foot under the horse, the woman, the elbow in the corner. Background too in focus, A great moment to capture but composition is lacking.
Interesting exercise but feel this could have been composed better. The stump in the foreground is blownout; there's an elbow entering in the top left corner; the cowboy's rear and hat are cropped off and there are very bits and pieces of people popping up in the background. Maybe a larger aperture would have reduced some of the distractions in the bg.
Interesting subjects - perhaps try and get in closer next time, just the mans hands, the hoof and the head would make a really interesting shot - as it is it appears a little like a hurried snapshot.
