I think they look wonderful, but a photographer I am not.  Beautiful work.

Oh these are absolutely LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am a photographer (dad is a pro) and these are just gorgeous!  I love the closeup of the horse!  I'm a horse owner too.  Their eyes are so awesome!!!!!  I would only say it might be better if you cleaned the "sleepies" out of his eyes.  I love the composition and the cropping.  What a sweet face!

The flowers are gorgeous!  My eye is drawn to the lighter blossom on the right, since it is the brighter one, but it is ever so slightly blurred.  I feel like the center blossom makes the better focal point, but it's in the dark.  I don't suppose you could just move the sun over just a bit?  ;)

Leave it to an artist to want to move the sun a bit!  No, we aren't demanding at all....Sun, just a bit to the left.

Beautiful photos. The composition in each is fantastic and the details are nice and sharp. The color in the horse image should be adjusted in post-processing, however. It's blue, and possibly a little green.
Great job.

ok, I shall move the sun a little to the right, and clean my ponies eyes.  LOL, the horse is my baby and was in the way for any pic's that day. "ooooh, what are you doing?, can I see?  she's a very comical horse and often pretends she one of the dexter cows (old heritage irish breed). 

I do see the green tint to the photo, but it isn't that way on the original, don't figure

thanks for the great comments!!!

I love the one of the horse - I don't know I'm not seeing that much of a green tint!  It could have something to do with the monitors - if the original looks good - don't mess with it! 
The flowers - love the fuzzy background - and with that setting you probably can't get all the flowers in focus - which I understand and probably not really necessary!  I like it!  oh shoot I just remembered I loaded a bunch of photos to flickr that I need to go tag and rename etc! hhehehe
as soon as I post a couple here!

Deb-I am by no means a photographer, but I like what I see, especially the horse. She looks so inquisitive, and her eyes so soft and liquidy looking.

This may sound funny to you, but I am a born and rasied city girl transplanted to the country. I was never around horses much, but loved to watch them run, full tilt. I never knew a horses nose was SOOOOO soft, until a few years ago, I got close enough to one to pet her. They intimidate me, lol, because they are such large animals. But absolutely gorgeous animals!  ^-^ :-*
