YO!

whilst taking a strole and enjoying the world around me, i came by some horses, and took this photo.
i think i like it, but dad said he didn't, so what do you perfect people think?

Why didn't Dad like it?

Other than appearing a little OOF (may be the compression to blame - or might need a touch of UnSharp Mask applied...) and a tad on the dark-side (I see you dialled in -1EV ), I like it... I think it's quite evocative and 'moody'...

Well done...

You're welcome...

No - on the contrary - it looks as if it could do with some sharpening - for my preference anyway - but then I prefer sharper images to softer images in general!

how did you find out how i used took the photo? psychic?

No not psychic... I wish... I use Opanda EXIF viewer... You can get it here... It's a very good (& free) little utility...
