I’m going to skip your birds’ shots since there is nothing I can critique about them. They are just great.This horse on the other hand is an uninteresting picture. Light doesn’t help at all.
It is sharp, and well exposed but just that. Your lens is suited for a different kind of shot. Go for the 17 mm, use the corral to lead the viewer to the horse or try a lower angle.
See you around.

Ditto and, in the future, you might also try a long, fast lens, back off a bit and fill the frame with the animal's head at a wide f-stop to throw the background out. Also try many different angles and always pay attention to your background.Most of your other images are pretty right-on.
Have fun.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
