Beautiful horse and capture. I think it would help to frame the composition less like a snapshot (IMHO) and more in line with a composition in mind, and the focus is too blurry overall. If the horse is blurry for motion, it would still be good to have the background crisp and vice-versa.
Do you have a spyware on your computer that keeps submitting any image it finds to DPC?
A horse as an everyday object??? It's not even a good shot. Looks like the horse in gonna fall or something. [ javascript: do_vote(1) ]
ahem...i do wish you had captured Serena in a more appealing way. i love horses and think they're beautiful animals! ure really not doing justice to its grace and sheer elegance, i'm afraid. She looks sad, almost clumsy and seems to me she's trying to avoid you taking the pic! oh one more thing...what makes u think a horse is an object?
Not sure I would class a horse as an object, but that may just be a language thing so no points deducted. Slightly sharper focus would have helped here, but still a nice shot.
Might have narrowed your audience considerably in terms of the challenge by assuming horses are everyday. It looks like you needed a faster shutter as there is motion blur in thie image.
