Greetings from the Critique Club. I have studied your entry and have some thoughts on it. First off you have met the challenge technically real well. Your photo definately shows a shallow DOF, well done. I voted this photo a 6 during the challenge.

A few points that might help you bring the score up for the next challenge. The main image is lacking the pinpoint type of focus on the main object that seems to be required to score well here on DPC. Your main subject is also a little dark. I would recommend playing with different lighting to help that out. The background while blurred is still a bit busy. Try and get the composition of your photo how you like it, and then step back and look at the background and see if you can get the view you like with a background that adds to your entry. And the last note is to try and remember to always use the maximum allowable size of 640 for the longest side of your entry. This alone would have brought up your score in my opinion. Well done and good luck with future entries.

Your photo gives me a kind of...timeless feel. Very fitting to the username you chose. Looks cold out there though...brrrrr.

Great composition. Foreground and background are great. My only pick is that the tree on the bushy end isn't as clean as the rest of the shot.

I like the idea but the light lets this picture down... it would have been great in better weather.

Great image. I would have worked on the white balance a little more - snow coming off a little blueish.

The horse really does grab my attention here. His contrasting color against the white snow. This one might also come across well in black and white. Give it a little more of a "cowboy" feel? just a thought
