They are fabulous. With the trotting coloured cob, I'd be tempted to change the background t something abit more artistic/beautifull, could you prehaps copy and paste a better background in? Then with the showing ones i would try to remove the white rope/tape from the background. Other than that they are all very good. Well done.
They are gorgeous!! Id def pay for pics like that!! I love the 3rd one and the browband one and the shoe on..... ok i love them all get an ebay account and get some prints on there
You definately have the eye for it. People will pay for those. Make sure you have them printed properly to ensure you get the depth. I have a friend who sells prints of paintings he does on Ebay: pm me if you want some info as to what and how
i think they are fab...put an advert up in your local tackshops with a proof of number 3 to get people'a attention....prof photographers charge lots for going to people's yards to take piccies so you could do that.....
You've definatly got an eye! I can never get my trot pictures to come out right (inside fore leg coming forward).
I'd say stay away from the selective colouring, it's way over done
And do some shots in colour - for me, the only ones that really work well in black and white/sepia are numbers 3, 5, 6 and the last one. The ridden pictures don't work in black and white at all for me, there's no realism about the photo and the subject matter lacks the arty feel as well.
If you haven't got it already maybe consider something like deviantArt to publish them on? You can get opinions from other photogs. on there (there's a huge equine community) and set up a print account that you can sell them through easily - the website does all the work for you I believe, you just stick the photos up and offer it for print.
Our hunt photographer charges £7.50 for a 7x5" shot, and at the other end of the scale my friend who does proper sittings with people charges £1 per inch so a 7x5 would be £35. I think your work is excellent and am sure owners would pay for lovely shots. I agree with others that selling them as prints on ebay would be a good idea. Good luck with whatever you do, I think you've got talent anyway!
they are amazing, you are going to be rich and famous.
I love 3, it is amazing, love 1 and the last one also. That was really clever what you did with the hot shoe on the anvil.
What a talent you have.
Good luck with it all.
Fantastic.... 1 and 3 are especially good...... I would love a pic that made merlin look that good, so if you are a magician as well then come our way please

I dont think she/he has overdone the selective colouring - and i dont think anyone else here does, and considering we're the target audience

Sorry, I meant that as a technique it's overdone, even though it works really well sometimes (like here) - Just my opinion. But it's true as you say, the only thing that matters is what the people you're selling to think!
