Cornish Kiss, a venerable old TB mare, now 27 yrs old and my favourite horse at this particular barn. This mare watches everything and I often wonder what stories she could tell. She was born in Kentucky and did well enough to race overseas at Longchamps in France. She is now ridiculously well-cared for and living out her life at one of my client's barns.

Now I gave this a 9 when it ws in voting, here are the reasons why. The challenge description reads "Use compelling lighting or subject matter to create a dramatic photo."
I found in this shot that you did use compelling lighting. The lighting is excellent and in turn makes your subject more interesting. The lights and darks of this shot are spot on. I think that most people didn't read or understand the description. You did.
Maybe without the head piece it would have given you a point or two more. Your post processing is excellent, maybe just drop out the top above the ears to get rid of the white bar.
I am and was very happy when i saw this shot. well done
