Wikipedia:Picture peer review/San Marco horses

Self-nomination. I'm not quite sure this picture meets the criteria, so I would like to hear some feedback. As I'm not very technical, the criteria themselves are difficult for me to understand. This picture appears on Chariot racing, Quadriga, Republic of Venice, Horses of Saint Mark and History of the Republic of Venice.

Comments:

As artistic as this is i doubt it will pass fpc for a few reasons. the subjects (the horses) are cut off which people will harp on you for. If you look at the hoves and noses of the horses you will see that the harsh lighting has turned them white. this is refered to as 'blown highlight' where all detail is lost in a bright reigon. there is grainieness in the sky and elsewhere. there is lens flare on the right side of the picture. the composition is not great because of verious unrelated objects on the right of the picture. The angle I do like somewhat though. -Fcb981 23:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
