Very nice contrast between the strength of the horse and the daintiness of the flowers. Masculine and feminine, darkness and light...all living in harmonious balance.

The scene actually has a dreamy quality to it, like it was taken out of a page from a fairy tale book. Beautiful and dramatic indeed. Great work!

I like the soft quality of the picture! The composition and DOF were perfect! The fence on the left side adds to the story... amidst the vastness of the field, this horse is still confined to its own space.

The lighting and colours are magical! I tried another composition (see workshop) - I might prefer if there was more room for the horse to look into?
