Nice outline of the horse and the beautiful orange background making you feel like he is rearing up into the sunshine. Great contest entry and good luck.

An ingenious effort in photography and editing tools. Your point of interest and impact are clear/5
Coloration is definitely ominous for the subject/ 5
Your lighting is great. You maintained the brightness in the storm and the silhouette/5
Great title. Good luck with the contest.

This is quite a striking image because of the colorful and vibrant background. I do however thing a true silhouette is meant to be solid. Of course your way is more artistic with the background shining through. I would also have left out the white light flare in the upper left corner, because it is a bit distracting.

The silhouetted horse is standing out sharp and well defined and I like the dramatic pose of it.

I think the framing of the image works well, but would have moved the horse a bit more off to the right. It is always better to have more negative space in front of an object and less behind. Still I think this is an all together creative entry for this contest, and I wish you luck with the contest.

    avmurray,

    no, it needed to be almost on center, adds drama.

    And to me a good silhouette, can have some light on its edges to add depth and perspective to the main component of the composition.

    thank you for the time and review, it is appreciated.

Great color in the b/g showing the variation and texture. I like how the horse appears to be challenging the rays. It does show strength and force. Very nicely done!

So magical. Love the silhouette of this horse, against the stunning and blazing hues of the background. Excellent framing placement, great focus and angle, showing the well defined details. Excellent display of motion. Surely, an image with an enchanted story to tell.
