 This picture was badly underexposed, so I used the histogram thingy in PSP7 to level it out a bit. That gave it this weird coloring with the yellow. The high grain is from that and the fact that I had it on ISO 400 for some crazy reason.

Did some NeatImage and saturation ( a touch).

I have a feeling I am going to regret entering this. I think it is interesting, but not sure how the voters will receive it.

Overprocessed for my taste... Also seems to be overexposed.

I like the composition of your photo but I am distracted by the hot spots around the hoarses. I wish I could see their natuarl colors. It looks like you used a photo filter on it. Nice picture!

Overexposed hotspots detract, composition is ok, I personally do not care for the applied filter (for this shot).

I like the grainy effect and the light catching the winter coats of these horses. The composition is incomplete feeling both horses are cropped oddly.

I'm sorry there is nothing "stand out" in this photo that gives it an edge.
