	Mary Miller-Jordan of Kelly, N.C. Bob's comments: "This is a great concept, but it would have been more enhanced if you used a telephoto lens instead of a wide-angle lens, and stuck the person [and horse] in the middle."
	Barry Henry of Louisiana Bob's comments: "This is being in the right place at the right time and having a great camera. You can't plan this picture."
	Lori Grimes of St. Cloud, Minn. Bob's comments: "This is a great picture. I hope you didn't get run over, as I see you used a wide-angle lens. The photo is sharp and has impact."
	Beth Wieland of Plano, Texas Bob's comments: "I try to get this position myself when I'm taking mare and foal pictures. It takes a lot of patience. Well done."
	Brooke Hall of Columbus, Ohio Bob's comments: "Great lighting, but the picture would have been better if the horse was coming toward the camera."
	Shannon Albert of Denison, Texas Bob's comments: "This picture has a terrific 'awww' factor."
	Rebecca Mogielski of New Brighton, Pa. Bob's comments: "I love the carrot as the snowman's nose idea to get the shot. I might use it myself. Good use of the flash to get [proper] exposure."
	Lois Overton of Thetford Ctr., Vt. Bob's comments: "This is a lovely picture. It's the type I try to get. If only the sun had been shining."
	Kelly Kassander of Mequon, Wis. Bob's comments: "This is a great reflection picture--very sharp and evenly balanced."
	Karen Smith of Church Hill, Tenn. Bob's comments: "This is a very dramatic silhouette picture."
