Took this in a sculpture park. Full size horse made from driftwood standing in the grass. Artist Heather Jansh. Loved it, wanted it but cost £27,000!

Great exposure on the horse head, but at a huge sacrifice to the sky.

the suggested eye is a masterstroke. the colours are very strange though. Good luck.

Interesting subject.

The color seems a little bland/washed-out.

Sky looks a little overprocessed, IMO.

i think this might have been better in a darker black and white photo. there seems to be a green/yellowish tint to the horse that bothers me a bit. i also wouldve tried to burn the clouds a bit to give them some depth and character of thier own. IMHO i just feel this should be a dark photo...dont know why, just a feeling i guess..hope i helped ya some, pm me if you have any questions. good luck

Great angle and perspective. Maybe up the sky color a tad. I like the detail very much.
