Question - Is it customary to shield the horse's eyes, so that they are almost completely invisible from the side? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:53, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Those are called blinders and are used all the time when horses perform in stressful environments. Horses are very skittish and accidents can happen if they are distracted from looking only straight ahead on say a race track or at a show, especially if they perform in a group as the rest of the photos from this event shows. These are very stylish blinders. cart-Talk 18:00, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That makes perfect sense. This is a very picturesque photo. I suppose some people may complain about the lack of more space in front of the horse, but I like the composition, anyway. I Support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:35, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm wondering about the file's name, is it referring to this act/show or is the horse called "Dancing Knight" (horses can have very strange names...)? Could this be explained a bit better in the description and maybe a better name for the file? cart-Talk 22:43, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment dear cart-Talk it is referring to the act/show generally there is drum sounds and the knight make the horse dance --IssamBarhoumi (talk) 23:14, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I like the horse and rider, but the setting looks haphazard and lonely. The dust bugs me a little too. lNeverCry 08:59, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The setting looks appropriate to me, but I don't like the framing. Normally, you'd want more empty space in front of a moving person/animal/object than behind it. --El Grafo (talk) 15:11, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose basically per El Grafo --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 18:50, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Overprocessed A great picture otherwise, alas. Daniel Case (talk) 07:14, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I like the moment a lot, but colors and composition are out, and that people in back. --Mile (talk) 20:49, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
