A chance moment. Bright sunlight lit these two against dark shadowed bushes in the background. Just enough time to click over to spot metering to keep the horses highlights under control.
Cropped, curves, hue/saturation to subdue stray color, subtle burning and dodging, slight diffuse glow, size and border.

As someone else said, sculptural. I actually thought for a moment they might be statues. This was one of the ten 10s I gave in this challenge. Shocked to see you didn't make the top 25 at least.
They look like two swans, necks arched to make a heart. Send it to everyone you know on valentines day! The white is beautiful, the negative space shapes are strong. I like how the sharper likes of the bridles make contrasting designs of their own - great composition!
Beautiful lighting and softness here. The result conveys a lot of love with the outline of the top half of a heart beneath them. Well done. Good Luck. 7.
Almost looks like it's sculpted from two different types of marble. Excellent effort considering the harsh light available. I love the composition. Very nice.
