Yours truly after schooling a horse in draw reins. The froth at her mouth means the bit was sitting properly and she was mouthing it, meaning she was submitting to the action of the bit and all in all being a good horse. Thansk to Brio, the Clyde/TB mare who kindly lets me take pics of her for challenges like Brown.
People shots do real well on stock (from what I hear). I think of all your pics this one probably has the best potential. The tight crop works well and the composition seems well balanced.
I like the square crop in this photo. It gives you are size perspective between horse and rider. This is the type of photo that would be great as a "sequence". By itself it isn't neccesarily strong, but included with other photos in the same scene it would be very strong.
I only vote down for small size when there's no impact for me, not just because it's small. In this case, I doubt the impact would've changed just because it was bigger.
You will probably continue to hear about the size of the photos until you have one side at least 640 pixels. If you need help with this look through this tutorial.
I agree with lynnesite that the tight crop was really effective. You've got a nice intersection of lines that draws the eye right to the subject. I think the only thing I'd consider on this is a slight warming filter (has a slight blue cast of the type that occurs when auto white balance is not corrected in cloudy or "open shade" situations). A very slight luminescense to even out skin on face would also enhance.
Great photo!
ah! what a wonderful job you have!! I really envy you:) I only wish I could see the eyes of the horse here, I think the composition would be complete with them. wonderful photo!
