This one doesn't have the same appeal as the first Paul. I don't think the portrait crop suits this image and it's a bit tight on the RHS. The main reason I prefer the first though is the direct line of sight contact between the foal and the viewer which is obviously lacking here.

I agree with Robert - not sure about the portrait format for this. :smile:

I think it looks okay but would like to see a bit more of the foals legs. I like the mush too.
