This seems to me a pretty regular picture, I think a shallower DOF would make this pop more.

Lovely horse. Something a little odd about the processing.

the HDR worked for the horse, but the sky is horrid

This horse looks excited in this shot. Good angle.

He's a handsome guy! The glare on his shoulder looks a little odd.

colors are missing the natural feeling and are a bit flat

The darkened sky makes me feel a bit cheated, but it does help to isolate the subject.

Don't take this the wrong way but as I see DPC as a learning experience here is my frank critique:
This comes across as a snapshot. By that I mean that I feel that anybody standing where you were with a camera could have gone click and got this result. I think a photographer should aim to do more than that. I may be wrong and perhaps you do have more of a story to your shot but the fact is that it doesn't come across to the viewer.
As an example, if you were in Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower you could hold the camera and go click. You'd have a shot that millions of other tourists have and would be good as a record of your holiday. I think at DPC you need more than that. You need to consider the POV - make it something that enhances the tower (include a flowerbed or kissing couple in the foreground), make use of lighting (dusk for shadows), composition (maybe include the buildings beside it to get a sense of scale).
I hope this helps and please don't be offended, I'm only offering an opinion.

Love the "candid" shot of this guy. There's something odd with the area on the right, from the fence to the sky.

exposure seems a bit off,

Good shot but the processing seems a bit off for a higher score.

Nice looking horse. He has the look of "What's happening here?"

Aww. Love horsy pictures. Looks like to much light tho and I can do without the fence but a beauty of an animal!

The composition could be a little more interesting.

Lovely pet portrait, but the processing (maybe too much dodging?) seems to have made the sky look a little strange.

The anxious look on the horses face creates anxiety in me the viewer. I would have liked a more peaceful pose.

a little over processed, the over exposed parts on the horse are really distracting.

Not sure I like the editing on this, seems like it has been unnecessarily tone mapped. The fence seems to be a bit superfluous too. I like the horse's expression and the way he seems to be looking right at you.

nice horse portrait, I like the way he's looking at you

I really like the way that the subject stands out so much - makes the image seem to come alive.
