Beautiful shots, Michelle.  I, too like the comp of #6, but I am really taken by #8.  There is just something about the whole pic that speaks to me.  Just beautiful.  #9 and #7 (with some cloning work done on it) would be absolutely perfect for breed ads.  I also like #2 just because I love draft horses, but he's a little too blocked up with shadows for my taste.  Good job.  Where was this show?
