**Critique Club**
First off, good choice with the B/W. It certainly draws the attention to the horse himself. It also emphasizes the fantastic sharpness of face/eyes/etc. I think the DOF is just perfect. As you can probably tell by the score breakdown, this is a good shot. In other words, most thought it was good, fewer thought it was great and fewer thought it was poor.
I think that the main things holding this image back from a higher score would be the composition and the contrast. Specifically, I think (as did some of your commenters) that more contrast would be preferable (especially, I find, with B/W images), and the composition isn't very dynamic (just a bit off center). Also, there isn't really any emotive element. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, just something that might give the score a little boost.
Overall, I think it's a decent image and it scored fairly well. Good job!
Please PM me if you have any questions or comments.

| I think I may have preferred either a bit more contrast or a soft color version. |

| the b/w shows the details and textures nicely but I think it loses a warmth and intimacy that color could provide here |

| Soft and sharp all at the same time. Wonderful. It seems a tad bit tilted, though. Nice BW PP. |
