 I Have Stood the Test of Time

Wanted to give a tribute to the horse in a way of their resilience over the time of survival, was fortunate to be able to find a horse that has seen some years and was looking good as well, all the horses are carrying their winter coat at present, and do not start the summer grooming for at least another 4-5 weeks, this mare allowed me to get in close and with a flash not flinching once.

i actually really like this one, though it is a bit oversturated, but I love oversaturate my photos :0 so I like this. Looks sort of a fairy tale horse :)

I like the crop alot. Enjoy the texture too - that and the vivid peach and touches of cyan make this more of a stylized interpretation than a clinical assessment - which is plenty fine by me! This picture would look grand hanging in a green room. Favorite part of all is those eyelashes!

Exposure and colours detract from good composition

Looks a bit oversharpened, makes his coat look prickly.

A little over processed. Nice comp though.

Oversaturated and possibly oversharpened. Some of the details were wiped out with the saturation overkill. May be slightly overexposed too judging from the upper right portion.

This looks overdone or over exposed. I don't know but there's something odd looking about his hair.

Up close and personal. The way I love horses.

Too bright. The image is spoilt by the harshness of the lighting.
Composition is good though..

The processing is overdone IMO, Prefer a toned down version.
