Group Info

Welcome! The Equine Photography club is dedicated to captures of man kind's most fascinating and exquisite animal- the Horse. Our mission is to gather an impressive collection of first-class, inspirational and alluring photographs of horses and their environments. Whether it be at work, at play, or at rest, #Equine-Photography's main goal is to provide it's watchers with an extensive repertoire of striking equine images. We hope that you will find this place a source of inspiration and resource, and visit us many times over.

The rules:

:bulletred: You can submit 2 deviation every 24 hours.
:bulletred: The quality of the pictures has to be good. This means it has to be sharp, the colour has to be right, the size has to be big enough and so forth.
:bulletred: The photograph has to be of a high quality artistically as well.
:bulletred: The photograph can be declined without giving a reason. If you wish to know what the reason of decline is, you may send a message. But beware, it could take some time before you get some indepth critism on your work. (We'll try to get back to you within two weeks if you leave a critism request).

Submission

How do i submit to the group?
To submit to the group you must be a member!

How many deviations can i submit?
You may submit TWO deviation per day.

What are the criteria for submitting a photo?
There are quite a few factors our contributors look at when voting to accept/decline a photo. Equine-Photography is a place where only the best equine photo's are shared to our global group of members. Our submission standards reflect our vision, and are therefore, very high.
Submissions must be:
  • Horse related photography, anything else will be declined without reason.
  • Purposefully focused. Purposefully because there are many way's to focus a photograph: clarity doesn't necessarily make a shot, when a soft focus can have just as dramatic an appeal when done with reason. Simply out of focus shots will not be accepted.
  • Interesting, creative or well composed. There is a lot of horse photography out there, we are looking for the photo's that stand out.
  • Have an overall impact to the image

Why was my photo declined?
Reasons why a photo may be declined:
  • Was not horse related
  • Was not a photography
  • Contained disturbing content (i.e. abuse, injuries etc...)
  • Failed to leave an impression on our contributors

Those are reasons for instant declination. If your photo was denied for any other reason, you may ask for a reason, and one of our admins will give you their opinion.

The poll decided! #Equine-Photography is now looking for a new group Icon!
Therefore, we are opening it up to you, the members that keep this group running.

A new gallery folder called "Icon Contest Entries" has been added to our gallery page.
We are accepting two types of entries:
  • 100px X 50px Pre-Made avatars. Can be GIF or regular image formats 30kb's or smaller.
  • Full size original equine photo's, submitting one of these will leave it up to our management team to create the icon if it is chosen.

Please note, you must be the owner of the content of your entry, IE you must have taken the image (or all the images if a GIF) to be able to enter. Art theft will not be tolerated.

Winner will have their Icon used as the official group avatar for #Equine-Photography, and receive a feature on the group homepage.
Closing date will be announced soon, so enter while you can!

Seeing you're willing to offer pretty much a critique, would you mind providing one for my picture too? Such feedback would be highly appreciated and would let me guess what pictures I should offer - whether it's just wrong phase of gallop, or generally uninteresting picture. Thank you.

I have given my thoughts now =)
I try when asked for to give an explanation to my voting, often when the picture has been declined. I hope my critic will be helpful (I wrote them on the original picture)

With Regards, Mia

of course! for me personally, i would opt to decline this photo. it is in fact the wrong stage of galloping, which makes it slightly awkward. the other problem i have with it is the dullness of the horse. the lighting is very intriguing and adds to the shot, however i would consider brightening up parts of the horse to make the first impression a dramatic one!
