These are wild horses in the Flint Hills of Kansas. The sun was setting and I liked the backlighting. The sun was not cropped out of the shot. There was no cropping. There was also no dodge/burn. The composition, vignette, and lighting was all purposeful and I'm content with the outcome.

Even though the border is IMHO too big, even though IMHO it's too tightly cropped, even though IMHO this is too dark, this is a very impresive image! Wild or domestic?

Very nice shot, I voted it pretty high (8), my only complaint might be that the position of the subjects in the frame are too high. It looks like the frame is actually resting on the horses backs. Good luck!
I'm a notoriously severe critic of horse photos, but I really like this one. The lighting, texture, composition, framing, exposure - all really nicely done.
what can you say about this? its beautiful. horses arent my fave subject, but I can really say nothing bad about this. i maybe would have cropped out the two objects at the top and brought the bottom in a tiny bit more. 8
Ahh! Such a beautiful shot. The backlighting is lovely, the exposure spot-on, details are perfect. Man this is top notch material and definitely a 10 from me. I like the subtelty of the vignette (most likely done in PS) that just makes the two horses pop out. Wonderful image to be very proud of. 10.
Edges are all dark. Would be better if the edges were completely visible and not vignetted. Or if we did have vignetting, would be better with vignetting around the entire image, not just the left, right and bottom.
A warm, nostalgic shot. I like the lighting. The heaving dodging around the periphery gives this an unnatural appearance which I feel detracts from the natural beauty of your photo. However, good entry overall.
