so, I had no intentions of taking any shots for this challenge.. these "themed" challenges are ones I never do well on, but we went to the beach today and after looking through the images, I saw the LEGS !!!!!!!! .. heck, that's an X if I ever saw one.. I'm sure it will get killed.. The crop isn't right, the X isn't obvious enough and who wants to see a beach in b & w.. I decided to do something a little different this time... I'm predicting a 5.6 if there aren't too many entries..

I'm guessing that a) you mean 'Filly' and b) the 'x' is it's front legs :-)

That said - very nice shot indeed.

I think I am missing the X in this one. I see the crossed horses legs, but it is far from prominent. The picture is great though.

Im assuming the X is supposed to be the criss-crossed legs? Very very very very subtle....nice shot though.
