ah! I am editing this from futureshop right now, I ain't at home and got no internet connection where I'm visiting. :-)
so maybe there aint much rain in it, and I'll get "it's more about the horse than the rain" comments
Which, of course I agree.
I wanted to show 'the food chain' you know, the water feeds the grass, the grass feeds the horse and the horse feeds the troll.

Haha, this isn't the one I thought you did. It does look like you edited it in FutureShop, though, LOL. Congrats on your top 10 you Slag, you make me sick.
:-P
This is a really nice pic. I do feel that it looks a bit overprocessed, though. I also think you could have revealed more detail in the horse, it is a bit dark.
Horse must have been wondering what you were doing. Just a bit dark. You can tell it rained and can see some small drops hit the water. Like the reflection.
Strong image; different and intersting composition, but which actually follows all the rules one could wish for. Love the colour - especially the vibrant green - though one might wish for more detail in the horse's face perhaps, for all that it isn't the real subject, it would add depth (as if it were lacking much depth anyhow - but there could be more, no?)
Interesting perspective, I like the distortion the wide angle lense creates here, as well as the low angle. The fence line helps lead the eye to the subject and there are actual rain drops falling into the puddle. Good job adding an interesting element to this challenge.
