Challenge: 7 I just dont see this as beautiful.
Compostion: 8 The leading line works well here but I think the eye is just too centered in this shot. Maybe changing the angle to the eye would have changed the feel.
Technical: 10 The image is very sharp and at the same time the DOF works very well for this sort of shot.
Creativity: 10 I would'nt have been this close to a horse.
Overall: 8 Good luck
I love the highlights on her eye lashes and bangs. Nice clarity. I don't know why, but the cropping seems a bit tight. I'm a big macro person, too, so I'm surprized that it's hitting me that way. Maybe it's the angle. Overall, I like it. 6
I wonder how many people are gonna interpret her back as the background even with the bokeh as distracting? Non-horse people, I'd expect. This one works for me.
