I guess I was seeing it as a photo of the barn, and a good one at that. The horse is the destination for the viewer's eye. I s'pose it might be nice to have a little more detail in all the white background on the right, but I'm not sure. good shot! john h > Hi Neal, > > When I enlarge the photo on my screen, I see that there is potential. > However, as posted, I find that the horse is too far away.
