I like the idea of the image, but not sure what happened to it...On my monitor the grass looks wrong, the background is wierd colored and the foxes look, well, unique. I honestly don't care for this one, sorry. Would love to see this image out of the camera.

Greetings from the Critique Club -

I will begin by saying that you have some beautiful scenery to be working with up there. Unfortunately there are some issues with this shot.

First off - the shot is soft overall. A sharper focus on a horse would have been nice. I realize they are all running but separation between the middle two would have been good as well. If you were able to find them spaced in a more balanced way the shot would have been more effective. The colors are a bit flat as well. Upping saturation on blues and greens may have increased the background colors without affecting the colors on the horses much at all.

As far as meeting the challenge it may have been a bit of a stretch in my opinion. A side angle on the horses allowing you to se ethe hooves more may have brought it closer.

Looking at your portfolio you have some very nice shots. The man and horse series are beautiful. It can be hard shooting for challenges especially in basic editing mode. Keep going at it and your scores will go up as you grow and learn.

Not fond of the crop, too tall and narrow. I think showing a bigger photo would get you higher marks.

From the Critique Club :

Hello Susan ,

Does your photo meet the challenge ? In my opinion , it does as there are many publications but maybe viewers/voters were expecting something different , having in mind newspapers.

I have noticed that you only have checked as helpful the positive comments and not all of them , so I'm not sure that you're going to find this helpful , I'm just giving you my honest opinion.

Your photo would have look better or less busy without the person on the right side , this would have centered the attention on the hands.
It is a sweet and quite magical moment you captured but the natural lighting was poor and the overall tones are a bit dull.
The scores reflects a correct photo.
