This did not get the score it deserved. Not even close! From the POV of an equine specialist it's a nice picture. I love the motion blur and the yellow mixed in with all the black. Compositionally, I'd like to see a little more on the right side. I say, well done as an equine pic, too bad it wasn't more DPC freindly for you.
people get mad when you rate low with no comments, so here goes. I found this shot blurry and indistinct in that there is really nothing that the eye is immediately drawn to...JMO :) 2
Very difficult, technically - those colours and motion against the black of the hide. Don't think you've quite pulled it off - simple compositionally the framing is a bit awkward, and there just isn't enough 'horse' about the image. Right hand of frame adds little, and makes the framing of the rest - well, uncomfortable.
