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 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.

For this contest, I would like to see how beautifully you can capture the bond between a horse and "their person". Horses are animals with an ability to really connect with people. The person can be riding the horse or on the ground, as long as they are with a horse. Colour and monochrome images are acceptable, but please no nudes.

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.
