Beautiful. The snow flakes makes this wondrous and the eye to the soul of the outdoor horse looks weary and contains thoughts I would love to know.  Creative, imaginative, and gorgeous!

Gentle gaze

I like the photo very much. It is a very gentle gaze the horse is producing. Nicely blurred by the snow. Nothing to critique here, only commend.

I love a photo that grabs my emotions and this one did just that.  I love it.  It's simple and not fussy.  I could see this hanging on my wall.  Great job.

Stunning

The color scheme is absolutely gorgeous, although I could also see this as a thrilling B&W as well.

Great image Linda, well seen, perfectly composed and masterfully executed.  I like the abstract feel of this image and the mood created by the snow and the blur.  Nicely done - michel

Hi Linda

The close cropping and dof create a sense of the mystical in this image, like something from "Tales of Narnia! it becomes more than just a photograph, but photographic art. Great vision and creativity combined with technical ability equals success!  Well done Linda!

Best Regards

Alf

Very unusual angle and result,with the horse's eye as the cener of attention, nearly human ,even sad..... Very beautiful warm brown vs. the cold hue of the snow.

This is one of those truly magical shots Linda that you just treasure. The snowflakes are just beautiful in the image, I can see the 'breath' of the horse as well. Lovely!! You should be very proud of this capture! Truly one to 'hang on the wall'!!!!

Warmest regards,

Gail
