I've had this 'road' sign for about 5 and a half years now. It's been 'loved' by a puppy we watched (meaning that the top and right side are chewed up, hence why they were avoided when taking the picture) and has been hanging on my bedroom door for the past couple years. It stands at 7" tall and the horse is a Breyer model which stands at just over 6" tall.
Pretty much point and shoot. No cropping, used natural light of the setting sun and then adjusted using brightness & contrast and hue & saturation. Then I attempted to add a border, it just called out for one. I hope it didn't hurt it's score any. I wish there wasn't reflection on the top of the horse's head, but oh well, can't be fixed.
I think this is the best set-up I've done for here and hopefully my best scoring.

In thumb nail view I thought this was a real horse. :) I think more focus on the sign and then less dof on the horse would of improved this shot. The idea is grand and it's a good entry. I hope you do well. Good luck.
Seeing the thumbnail, I thought it was a real horse! Turns out to be a Breyer horse model. =-) Interesting angle. I really like the lighting in this one, appears to be taken at "sunset." Good job!
great composition! nice cropping and use of negative space, the angle on the sign where the horse head comes in is perfect. great perspective. DOF is nice.
if the horse had been real, this would easily be a nine or a ten.
I like this idea and the angle. From the thumbnail I thought maybe this was a real horse (that would be hard to do!) I like the shallow dof makes it seem a bit more real. It is a bit disappointing tho - that it isn't real.
