Quarter Horse

Thank you Binnur.

I just want to say that as soon as I saw the image I said to myself that 'what a beautiful horse'. No comments from me about the image as I'm stunned by the beautiful horse Kim

As a fellow horse person, thanks Dean.

Kim,

A wonderful shot of a pleasure horse. One doesn't need to see the rider to appreciate the bond between horse and rider.

Yes, I agree, that would have been a better way to express my goal; however, I don't think it would have changed the opinions of the majority on this forum.

Completely agreed.

We photographers often mention that we need to understand a subject to be able to most effectively photograph it. I believe sometimes the same is true about understanding a subject to be able to most effectively critique a photo of it. I don't know much about horses but I vividly remember a lot about them and about riding them, sometimes with no saddle, almost every day while living on a ranch as a small boy. There is no doubt in my mind that my critique of horse photography would be different if those everyday experiences were not still very much in my memory.
