I gave it a 10. I love it. This man looks like a man with authority. He's eyes seem so full of wisdome and his face in combination with the shadows and the sephia/b&w make him so calm. As if he knew what could happen and how to react. So sure of him self but in a good way. One of my favourites.

I swear I commented on this one.. :P Now where did my comment go :P

Great exposure and focus/DOF -- I'd maybe like to dodge a tiny bit under the hat brim by his right eye.

Very nice capture with authentic feel. Great action shot with willing model. Bumping to 6.

Nice photo, good cropping and depth of field, and I like the sepia feel. His face seems just a little out of focus though.

Good choice to desaturate. I would crop the picture to focus even more on the subject's face, the power in this picture. Cutting the horse's face in the middle is awkward. I like your use of shadow falling across your subject's face, giving him a certain hardened mystique that seems to go hand and hand with the cowboy image. I would like to see the focus a little crisper on the subject's face.

half the horse's head, plus out of focus...distracting

Good portrait. You seemed to have captured the essence of your subject well. A+

Nice DOF. You might have cropped the horse's eyes away. Showing them makes me want to see the whole of its head. It distracts a bit from the main subject, which is of course the rider. I like the superiority in his face. Perhaps that's just because of the moustache. I don't want to hurt anyone, but did you notice that most dictators have mustaches?

i see a nice image of a guy on a horse, but not seeing anything that really conveys authority.

The softness is ok, but witha sepia, or aged toning, would be great, with the b/w, it doesn't help. Going sharper with grain, would be good for b/w.
