Great shot!!! love the perspective, the creativity, the brilliant colors and inward leaning angles (how in the world did you get both the "sun", and detail on the lower part of the horses face/head? Shouldn't that have been a silhouette?) Anyway, technical doubts aside, the only thing i find myself wishing for is that I'd have liked to see the horse facing me rather than facing the same way (make sense?)

Very funny and unusual perspective. You did a great job preserving the intense colours in back light. A nice summer-feel-good-picture :-)

Very unique. Were you lying under the horse???

When I saw this photo I knew that you are the guy who take the shot with that cute donkey. Original as usual, beautiful colors, good use of wide angle lens. I like the idea to take the shot from the grass- I've tried that too, but I did't get such great results. Very good work Patrick! Regards! Alin

the perspective is excellent you feel like your about to be eaten!

The angle of the the horse's head makes it appear to be suspended/fake yet the detail of the grass in the mouth makes it very real. I appreciate the heighth of the grass blades and how the "lean" inward. It does a couple of things, one creates the bug's eye view perspective and it accents the glory of the sun peeking out behind the horse's head creating a focul point on the "star" to the right of it. Very well positioned. I imagine it required patience. Excellent!
