Horses and Their People

This is one of those quiet moments between horse and rider that I most enjoy seeing. I like how they aren't dressed up for a photoshoot, they're simply doing what they always do. I also love the horse's position and the overall quality of this image. Well done.

While this photo does not quite have the clarity I look for, it has more than enough adorable elements to make up for it. I have to say, their size is perfect. You could not have caught a more endearing moment shared between a person and pony. While ponies can be a pain, this one seems to have a soft spot for the little girl. They are clearly true friends.

First of all, for a photo like this, the horse's expression is perfect. He honestly looks like he is in love. His ears are offset, his eyes are half closed, and it looks like he is standing quiet. I really like the warm ginger color they both obviously share, and how it is neatly paired with darker tones. Great job, well done.

I love the autumn elements in this photo, they make for a great picture. From location to lighting, all of the photographic components are ideal. There's a clear relationship existing between the rider and the horse. You can see a glimpse of their personalities and get an idea of just how long they've spent forming this valuable relationship. Great capture, well done.

The quality of this image is spot on, great job. I love the position of the horse in this image, with just enough of his face to see his expression. This allows for the rider to have more of the focus, but also shows the attentiveness of her horse. As an officer, she relies heavily on his partnership and that is something you captured very well.

What a great setting with a beautiful pair. While yellow can often be overwhelming, I love what the extra color brings to this photo. I also like the use of vignette, making this picture feel more intimate. I like how the girl just seems to be enjoying hanging out with a friend. Nice job, well done.

This is such a sweet, intimate moment. From a photographic standpoint, this photo is great all around. The position of the horse to the overall clarity is perfect. I love the choice of monochrome. I also really appreciate the authenticity. The expression of the horse and his quiet demeanor shows the amount of trust he has in this woman. The bond that exists between these two is clear. Well done.

Yes, this photo definitely manifests the connection between these two. It takes a considerable amount of time and patience to train a horse, especially when a crowd or any other similar element is involved. I like how you included only these two subjects in the photo. It really puts the spotlight completely on them and their clear relationship. Well done.

This is such a sweet photo. The expression of the horse could not be anymore perfect. The sunlight that outlines them both makes a charming moment all the more special. I like the depth of field, use of space, and rule of thirds applied in this photo. Well done.

Horse expressions really don't get cuter (or more comical) than this. You were in the perfect spot to capture this photo and it turned out beautifully. I love how not only the horse is enjoying himself, but the woman is too. Great job, well done.

This is a great capture of an ordinary moment. As a person who values the use of vignette, I really appreciate it in this photo. Monochrome was a great choice for such a sweet instant. It feels like something you would see everyday, but it still has emotional worth. Great job.

I find myself being absolutely stunned when looking at this picture. The lines, the background, and the color are each enticing. The blue and grey as well as the sharpness of this photo are eye-catching. What a phenomenal capture of a clearly beautiful performance, well done.

While the lighting is a little distracting in my eyes, I really enjoy this photo. It's not hard to tell that this pair has been together for a long time. There's a sweet, dreamy element to this picture that makes the beautiful qualities shine through.

This is a touching scene, one that I assume you just happened to stumble upon. I love the choice of monochrome and the valuable use of lighting. As for the scene itself, it is beautiful. The horse appears as though it is keeping watch over the man, and their friendship really shines through in this moment. Well done.

This photo really has me drawn to it on all levels. It is outstanding from a photography standpoint, and it is also very attractive to the viewer. This boy is surrounded by men who love horses, but even though he clings to that history, it he seems as though he is drawn to others things. What a great photo, well done.

This is clear enjoyment, the kind of enjoyment that you look for when riding a horse. The clarity, color, and lighting (especially considering the black horse) are beautiful. I love the position and timing of this photo, you did a marvelous job. Well done.

This is a brilliant silhouette, job well done. No details are lost on the horse and rider, and they stand out perfectly against the color of the world they are surrounded by. You captured a very attractive scene, one that almost has appeal to almost anyone - horse lover or otherwise.

This photo really shows what kind of relationship a person can have with a horse. Clearly this couple has spent a long time together. You don't have to know much about horses to see the love that both of them share. Also, the bokeh in the background and dappled shadows in the foreground are an attractive combination. Well done all around.

This is the essence of a real bond between a horse and his person. This is clearly an authentic picture, which makes it all the more beautiful. You can see how much she loves him through just her smile. They're sharing a true moment of friendship. What a great capture, very well done.

This is such a striking image, from the rich color to the expressions on the riders. I think this is a really neat capture of a culture that many people never get to see in person. It's also a culture that still values the partnership between a person and horse. What a great photo.

This is a charming photo, and more than that, a very noteworthily one. The color and lighting are ideal, as well as the position of the horse and his rider. It is beautiful to look at, and the relationship that is shared between the horse and rider is unmistakable.
