My horse Creole. Please critique. Thanks.

This is my horse. Please critique. Thanks.

is the flash reflecting in his eyes or is that the sun? very lovely!

Although the background is beautiful, it's not adding much to the meaning or communicaiton of the photo. At the very least I'd crop it down to just above Creole's ears. Great lighting and depth of field.

The focal point of this picture is the eye of the horse. It would make a much stronger image if the eye was not in the center of the image.

Thank you for your comment. It is the sun caught just at the right time. I didn't use flash for this photo. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Wow I cant believe how much better I like that cropping. I never would have thought of doing that. I am very new and your comments helped me out a TON! Thanks so much for taking the time to help me out and for the nice comments. I appreciate it so much.
