Default Horse Out at Pasture

I have a few animal shots I am very proud of, but I think this one has to be my all time favorite so far. This was taken at Pine Ridge, SD right a pretty crazy lightning storm. I love the composition and how the horse's head is turned at almost a right angle to be facing perfectly straight and symmetrical towards the camera. I guess what I am looking for are any suggestion on if lighting correction is needed, perhaps and color correcting, or just any ideas to make it a better picture. Thanks.

I like it too. Love the lower view from which you shot and the head turn was a nice catch. I don't really have much to offer in critique as it's a darn nice shot so about the only suggestion I would have is to maybe play just a tad with the white balance and exposure. It looks a tad to the cool blue side and maybe just a smidge underexposed. That could just be my monitor though.

Neither of these things hinder my appreciation of the beautiful horse.

Within the guidelines are certain criteria that needs to be fulfilled to post in the critique section. Please take a moment to review them and then edit your post with the missing information.
