I do like horses its amazing to see the muscles, vains poping out. good texture, good use of bringing out the horse. the only thing I see is the top fo the horse got cut, maybe thats on purpose, but good picture
Excellent use of grain here to add drama to an already dramatic shot. I love the detail and the force of the photo, it's the sort of shot that almost wants to make me take a step back from it!
I don't know whether it would be better with or without the rider included, but because I can see a small part of the rider, it does want to make me see more.
