Well done Ayman.Nice and sharp with an intresting angle of the background. I like how you caught the eye of the horse, but it looks a bit worried by something. I can imagen how hard it was to get a nice pisture. I can tell from my bird pics, a lot of running around ;).

The horse portrait is very fine Ayman, the eye looks great. The background gives you away on the tilt. I think you could try to get rid of the background in PS.

This is great. I like the frothing at the mouth and detail on the mane. This horse looks as if he means business! You have captured the atmosphere perfectly here. Very nicely done.

Commentaire et critique :
Il y a plus de trente ans Sharm el Sheikh était un tout petit village de pêcheurs locaux enclavé dans une zone militaire. C'est devenu maintenant un paradis touristique où se déroulent des manifestations sportives , de la plongée sous-marine aux courses hippiques.
Au sujet de la composition, le cheval est bien cadré, mais le cadre est un peu trop épais, mais le fond flou est un peu trop chargé.
Comment and critical: There is more than thirty years Sharm el Sheikh was a very small village of local fishermen wedged in a military zone. It became now a tourist paradise where proceed sporting events, deep-sea diving with the horse-races. About the composition, the horse is well tallied, but the framework is a little too thick, but the Background is a little too disturbing.

Great shot, Ayman. The colours and DOF are excellent. I really like the way you have framed the shot, but it immediately made me think of the 'Godfather' movie. Well done.

Very good shot Ayman, and so sharp in spite of the horse's movements. Your choice of framing is a very narrow one, but I think it fits well with this portrait (what a DOF...)
Well seen !

Joliment bien fait et bien composé.
Je rejoint Said au sujet du cadre un peut large a mes yeux mais cela n'engage que moi.
J'aime bien par contre la qualité de la photo.
Bravo Ayman

Great horseportrait! Such good sharpness in this shot. I guess this horse was pretty wild right? I Wish there would be more of white eye.
