Tami,

I have held back and decided to give you my opinion which is against the grain. I prefer the gelding shot. I like the color, angle and attitude of the horse. As an Arab owner it is not a typical or actually preferred shot but I really do think the fence works to carry the interest of the upward angle. If you view many of the shots in Arab ads lately, they cut off the legs in tall grass, rocks, etc. and it really does bother me for an ad. But this is not and I really do like it.

As for the first shot, I have a problem with the balance. I would like to see a bit more room in front of the dog. I also would like to see a sharpness on the nose.
