Critique please by bruni

Critique please

I had a hard time deciding which picture to choose. out of the 200 I decided on this one of our granddaughter riding Patten. he is the sire of Georgia`s foal. I used Sports as the camera setting to get the action. because Patton`s coat is very dark I had to lighten the picture to show details and muscel tone. I would appreciate your suggestions.
please view these two links for a picture of Shayely`s horse Georgia and her foal Paradisa. (the one on the right)

beautiful Bruni!!! But I'm a big horse fan! Lovely pony this one!

I think this looks good. You could crop it evenly on all sides and eliminate the boards in the lower right hand corner if you wanted. That would also enlarge the picture a little and further bring out some of the detail.

@olivetreeann Thank you for your suggestion. you're so right..I just did exectly that and the picture looks great..now if I only knew how to change the picture once it's on 365. I probably can copy the comments and paste them to a new upload..I thing it's worth it or do you know of a better way?

@bruni I know you can take this shot out and then load the new and improved picture into that date. What I don't know is if these comments will stay on this date once you take the first picture out. I know you can't keep the comments with the regular 365 account, but I think with an ace account you can. I changed my picture once and I just don't remember if the comments stayed or not. My thought is that you have to change it in the edit mode somehow and that's what keeps the commnets. On the other hand, if the comments aren't retained, then you could just ask people to comment again in your new commentary.

I think this is beautiful but I think if you cropped it (removed the distracting object from the bottom corner), it would be better.

I agree with Ann and Kerri,but a very nice action shot!!

Excellent shot! A great action shot. I do agree that you should crop out the boards. You do that in the picmonkey right from here and you wouldn't have to change out the photo. The horse is absolutely gorgeous!

Lovely Bruni....awesome horse for your grand daugher and she looks perfect, I agree...a tighter crop will be much etter as those coloured boards are distracting and pull your eye.

nice composition, like the placement of the horse and rider in this photo

@prttblues b Hey Bev I didn't know that..have to try it. do you mean to say I can change the picture by uploading it first and then do some cropping there and it will replace my first upload? if this is the case will all the comments I had on stay?

@hjbenson Thank you Harry. nice to hear from you and I'm glad you liked the picture.

@carolmw Thank you Carol. I reposted the picture .please see September 24th for it. you're right it does look a lot better after my cropping.

@ruthmouch Thank you so much and your're so right..so in the meantime I have reposted it under the 25th and then brought it back to the 24th after eliminating the first picture.

I agree with above, this is a great shot, Bruni but I would crop out the boards on the bottom right which will enlarge your subject, your granddaughter and her horse. I have not figured out how to change a photo here and keep comments.

They are all beautiful Bruni, but I would say this is the one I would choose. This one indeed captures the activity, the smooth, rhythmic trot.
