Hey Chris,

I really like the shots with both the horse and the girl in them. I particularly like the use of B&W. Honestly though, the shots of the horse solo I did not think were up to the same quality. It looks like you used a long lens and a relatively shallow aperture that blurs out the foreground (please correct me if I am wrong). This is seen particularly on the first two shots. The 2nd shot is acceptable in my mind, but the first shot, particularly with the lighting issues, needs a bit of help and I think the blur actually distracts as opposed to enhancing the image.

Over-all though, I think these are very good!

Thanks for sharing,
James
