Well here we go again. I thought this turned out a little different, kind of has and eerieness about it. It was taken at sundown and nothing has been down to it. Here is the info I got off the picture, if someone could narrow down exactly what you need that would be good. Thanks

x & y resolution 72.00
exposure time 10/10000 *
f number 9.000 *
exif verson 0220
aperture value 6.30 *
brightness 9.39
max aperture value 3.00
flash did not fire *
focal length 17.200 *

*these will help most

Did I miss anything?:confused:

Hi Laurel,
To answer your question about EXIF data, what is most helpful to me is knowing the ISO, aperture, shutter speed, if flash was used (onboard, off-camera, multiple flash), if available light, describe the light source and direction if you think it will help in the critique. Occasionally, it is also helpful to know what lens was used and if a variable focal length lens, what focal length was used. This helps if there is a question about depth of field.
Your shot of the horse is interesting however its shape tends to resemble the shape of the nearby trees and makes it a little harder to zero in on it as your subject. Perhaps a bit closer and from a lower vantage point to separate the base a little more from the trees in the background.

Not a bad subject. I agree with Lee, though, that you might want to move to your right, where you could probably hide the smaller tree behind the base of the statue. If you did that and took the pic a few minutes earlier, while the sun was higher, you might have gotten better contrast against the sky. Something I'd try for this shot, though, is cropping out some of the top and right and cloning out the square of light on the left.
