My first reaction was to say: "Oh well, it's because of Election Day in the US... Obamania...

But later I found that some others (the usual "stars": Richardphotos, jocko500, ledwolorz,...) received their "normal" (high) amount of views/comments/favs...

So then I was in doubt... Is there something wrong with this picture ? Normally images with cats, horses get even more views... and here only 10 (I have an average > 24  !!)

I would really appreciate if you could tell me frankly what is wrong with my picture ?

 Hi GiMi,

i don't know what's the prob here.. i don't want to know. But about your pic, there is some technicals probs:

• the sky is burned out, white.
• somes shadows are big black without details;
• so the light is difficult to understand...

But, i like the compo of the three horses who are looking at you, the fine details in the middle tones (mostly on the horse of right). The center of the pic is a little bit empty...

Hope it will help.

Seeya my friend ;o)

I'm used to low viewcounts so don't ask me

What kind of comments are you looking for? Did/do you want constructive comments/critique?
It looks like you got the same comment ten times over. Did you want twenty more of the same?

hi GiMi,

frankly, does it really matter? lots of views and comments does not a good picture make, though I understand it's nice to receive feedback on something you've invested time in. I've seen some works with hundreds of views etc which to me were nothing special, and a few that hardly anybody seemed to have looked which really connected and left me speechless...

as for the picture, I seem to remember there were quite a few good uploads that day, so obviously that plays a factor for someone like me on dial-up half the time who has to wait minutes for pictures to load sometimes! specifically, the tone didn't really appeal to me, the highlights appear blown, and I'd have preferred a more 'balanced' composition which maybe could have been achieved by a sidestep left. there's nothing 'wrong' with any picture as long as it's the way you intended it, so ultimately, if you're happy enough with it to post to your gallery then that should suffice, don't worry about views and comments! ;)

hope that was constructive and maybe helped a little.

Yeah, don't get wrapped up with view count and comments...it's nothing to lose sleep over.

I'll only give honest appraisal and trust that is what you are asking for. 
Sadly Michel I am disappointed. I know you can, and have produced much more appealing images than this. The sharpest part of the photograph is the horse on the right, and we only have a head shot. I am not sure what the rest of the scene is contributing to the image.   

Here is another crop of the same image (no color postwork) !

j'ai retravaillé ta photo à ma sauce, juste comme ça pour infos.... Je l'enlève si ça ne te plait pas, immédiatement of course !
