Hi! I just discovered that you were one of my statistically favorite photographers! Groovy! This marvelous shot is one reason why, I suppose!

lol. I like reading comments. This is a hill isn't it? It doesn't scream "tilted shot" to me, but apparently people like the ground to be straight across all the time even if it isn't that way in reality.
I really like the tones you chose. This is one example of where I think a decision to go duotone really helped the shot, but I'm not sure that I'd think of it normally.
That white area at the top still bothers me. I'd prefer a crop to just below the brightest white areas personally. It was obviously a tough shot to expose, and I thik you did a pretty good job getting the scene exposed well so the sky had to suffer a little.
"Proper photography" guidelines would dictate that the subject always be moving into the frame instead of out of it so that the eye moves around inside the shot and isn't directed away. I actually like this one the way it is though. It goes well with the title. The horse isn't exactly going out somewhere... it is going home so the day and the space are behind it.
Little girls love horses :) I think the subject and softness are very appealing to many people. It just has a nice, happy feel to it while also being calming.
Nice work.

I think the top is a bit overexposed, but it's a great shot - I like the rays coming down, the color of the grass and horse - I wish s/he wasn't headed OUT of the picture, however. 7

ummm. lovely - is he walking down hill or is the whole image tilted? Even if it is a hill in real life, I think it might read better to rotate it a bit, the trees in the background also seem tipped to the left.

nice capture...sun "blow out" may be a little too bright, but overall works well.

Nice mood to this photo. I think that you could have cropped out some of the sky though, and just kept a little around the tops of the trees. The sky is too bright for me.
