The graphics here are tuly commanding, Susie, with the strong framing of the square stable opening, the bright outdoor light, and the superb sheen on the horse's coat glowing from the shadows. #8818480

Wonderful capture, Susie -- you have created a winner. The composition is so very strong, the exposure is perfect and the details and texture of the horse make you want to reach out and touch him. Well done -- making it a favorite. #8820228

Oh Susie, I am such a horse lover, and this looks like a really lovely horse. His coat is so shiny, and he reminds me a bit of my bay horse I had when I was younger. Lovely entry! #8820784

I sincerely hope you pay way more attention to the wonderful comments and to the many votes you have gotten on this wonderful image than to the fact that it was skipped for an EP. Pop it right back in there next month, Susie! #8827229

Susie Peek-Swint August 13, 2010

Many thanks Nikki for your support and encouragement ... I am disappointed and thought perhaps this one is too dark? I will try it again later though ~ cheers, susie #8827272
