Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments, I'm very proud of this photo and consider myself lucky that I was in the right place at the right time to get the opportunity to photograph these wonderful animals. That being said, I have learned a very important lesson, DON'T CUT OFF THE FEET... . I will try and post someting to the forums with links to all the pictures I took that day.
These horses are absolutely beautiful, and your photograph of them really brings out their softness. I reeally wish both horses had their feet in the shot, and I could definitely do without the barrel distortion. Did you take any other shots in this session? Post them in the forums if you would.
GREAT Photography. This photo really stands out. Not just another picture to me. This is full of emotion. National Geographic quality. Excellent work! Do you do this for a living? Tremendous work. Ruthann
This is another of my top picks this week. What excellent posing from your subjects! My only nitpick is the cut-off feet of the colt. Regardless, this is undeniably a great shot.
Touching and sweet. Protective. I'd like to see more detail in the older horse's face. Challenging to say the least with the light environment you'd run the danger of over-exposure. But still....a little room for improvement. Good anyway....very good. Hmmmmmm also would like to see the hooves not cut off.
framing this just 3 inches lower would have made this perfect - the feet of the 2nd horse wouldn't have been cut off. this is awesome nevertheless - i like the sky, the wind, and their poses. :-)
This is a beautiful photo... the only think that is keeping me from giving it a 10 is the clip of the feet at the bottom of the frame... great shot! = 9 - jmsetzler
Great photo. I love the wind in her mane. I wish the colt's hooves had made it in the picture. Were you using an attachment telephoto? I can see shadows from a tube in the corners. 8 Lisa
OK, I did a horse pic too, but this is so much better. Looks like a painting. If i had anything to add it would be only that I wish you could have gotton all at the bottom of the shot.
This reminds me of when I lived in Chincoteague and out near Assateague Island, VA.This photo combines my love for horses and the beaches. I did not realize there were wild ponies off the NC coast. I'll have to get out there. Beautiful shot. 9- KDJohnson
Where is this??!! I want to go there! GREAT picture! ('cept for their feet - were they shy about their pedicures?) Last week I cut off the tip of a fish's nose in an aquarium just because it was the only chance I had at the shot. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt on this one. ;) 10 karen_v
Nice shot... the blowing hair really adds a lot of atmosphere. I think a vertical shot might have worked here, then we could have also seen the feet of the smaller pony.
Great shot! I was down on the Outer Banks about a month and a half ago and I took a ride through Corolla and the beach area and saw all of the horses. So beautiful. To get them posed like this is even better! One of my favorites this week, but it would be even better if the feet weren't cut off at the bottom. I love the photo, though!
some vinyetting, make sure you dont pull back the zoom to much when using a telephoto lens. otherwise nice depth of field The Vinyetting in the corners hurts you though
Nice image. It might have a little more impact if the horses, especially the one facing me were lighter. A half stop would make a real difference and the background, although lighter, would still show well.
