1) Upload your images onto something like imagesack. Flickr doesn't like hotlinking, so your pictures won't be visible after a little bandwidth usage (that is, after some external views, and on a forum like this one you reach the limit quite soon.)
2) Remeber that no matter what you do, you will never ever reach a 100% of positive feedback. Plus it seems that recently some people here act in a rude and harsh manner, while posting pics a little below snapshots. Don't get obsessed and keep loving your hobby and job.
3) Always listen to comments and critiques, no matter how harsh. This will help you get better anyway. You can try to follow some suggestions and offer something different to your customers. But let them choose the style they prefer, even when it's crappy to everyone else's eyes.
4) I love your pictures, good timing in capturing them. And yes, I would use a little less texturing too, but I'm not one of your customers so...
I hope you got my point


I should have posted in the first post that I was just showing the pics and not really asking for comments

Especially after I see how people put down your pictures or Chantal's pictures..
People lately are very negative and seem so depressed... I can't seem to share that negativity when I have such a happy life!
Taking pictures at a horse show is so much fun! Even if I get sunburned and have to stand up for 8 hours in a row... last show I went I didn't even get a chance to go pee during the whole show! And I was so hungry I almost ate one of my horses when I got home

But the crowds are fun, people are so nice and I even found my daughter's new riding instructor just by talking to people here and there at a dressage show

I think photography is all about passion, you must love doing what you do and look forward to the next shooting
