This image tells a good story. A few changes would make it a great story.
Composition: The horse and man work quite well as placed in this urban environment. There is extraneous material that, with careful positioning of the camera, might have been avoided. The planter, in the center of the frame comes to mind. The bit of car bumper is a distraction and (I know, picky, picky) there is a twig in the right hand corner that, again with a bit of positioning, might have been eliminated. (In my camera club, we call this "Border Patrol".)
Technically, it's a bit "hot". A Circular Polarizer on a sunny day is often helpful; another way to achieve the best exposure for the situation is bracketing.
You have a good eye for story telling. Keep it up!
This is a good looking photo, but I don't feel you brought enough attention to the subject "shoes" . Maybe if you had zoomed way in on the horses legs showing the texture of his hair and hoofs for interest this would have still made for an interesting photo and brought more attention to your subject.
I love your photo but I have to be honest, If I didn't know what catagory it was I would think this was a very good photo of a man with his horse. The shoes were not a focal point in the composition. Unfortunately, the same mistake I made.
its a pretty cool shot - the lighting is good and I understand the reference but the focus does not seem to be the shoes. Maybe a lower crop with just the legs and shoes would have helped for me. 5
The background is too busy. I'd like the photo better if the background was blurred or if there was more cropping. But I DO like the comparison between human and horse shoes.
