Nice motion in the background. I can't tell if you softened the horse in post processing -- I've found that my preference in nearly all of these blur shots has been for a sharp subject. I like the look on the horse's face, and the main in the air. Overall, I really like the shot. I would have given an extra point for a sharper subject.
I love this picture, especially the contrast between the horse and the background, I also think you chose the perfect horse for this picture. Keep up the good work!
horses normally just freak me out, but this is gorgeous. i only wish that the face could be just a smidgeon sharper; especially round the eyes and ears. but the flowing mane, background, the b&w tones, composition (i like how you've not bothered with its body or legs) all add up to make this a really great shot; bit sharper and it would be worthy of any poster store. 7.
Great composition and tones. The motion blur in the background and mane are awesome, but I think that the face of the horse(at the very least the eyes) should be sharper.
