I think this picture is lovely, the horse is absolutely gorgeous and the "running away" position that he's in is splendid. You did a great job taking the picture, no doubt about that. Everything is in focus, the shot is in the right place (No limbs are missing, nothing is cropped incorrectly).
The only thing that I really worry about is how the dark parts of the horse tend to blend into the background. Now this is actually an error in photo editing. What you would normally do to prevent this from happening (On the muzzle, for example) is by using a photo editing program to give the horse a slight glow around him (aka, adding a white, fuzzy, semi-transparent border around the horse only) to make him "pop out" more. This border won't really be recognizable on the white parts of the horse, but it will make the black parts stick out like a sore thumb.

Fair point - thank you for the advice (I'd needed a solution to this for a long time!) I had used plenty of photoshop on this editing out parts of the background that were distracting and darkening parts like the fencing, so they didn't take away from the horse. I'll have a go at making him stand out - thank you so much!

...just cause thats when i get up. i used to have real bad insomnia...so to fix it i stayed up for a whole week straight...maybe ten minutes of sleep for the whole week. my sense of time was sooo effed up, and i was hallucinating...afterward i passed out and slept for three days almost... that fixed it so i would wake up at five-ish...go to sleep around ten or so. i just pass out then, can't help it. and then daylight savings happened, so i started passing out around nine, and waking up at four...so my body still runs on that time ^^

Oh wow, that's really different (I don't mean that in a mean way, it's just that - different!) I can live on very little sleep, but every few weeks I have a day where I just crash out and sleep for the whole day XD usually a school day o.O

Well then, you're a genius for coming up with a cure either/or. Sometimes home, sometimes throughout lessons. Geez, it's hard to keep the ol' eyelids open in Chemistry XD

lol, i dunno...it prolly isn't for everyone P= but meh...n yeaa...science and me definitely do not agree. i don't get it, and it doesnt have time for me...so i try to avoid it. i used to be famous for sleeping in class. literally...i walked into the teacher area one day to copy some stuff for another teacher, and overheard my freshmen geography teacher telling her teacher friends about me, and to watch out for me if they ever had me in their class o.o

Aha! Teacher gossip makes me laugh. Always been tempted to put a camera in the staff room one day... Ugh, and physics is even worse... I don't think our teacher even notices!

Aww, well mine's pretty OLD, and we're one of very few schools that does Photography GCSE, so that's why I'm so into it now That being said, most of the basic subjects are quite weak areas at this school - it's just the weird things that we're good at
