 Taken during a walk on Exmoor, this little foal was extremely inquisitive and quite happy to pose for a minute or two before running off into the forest.

I could curse, because having been shooting some insurance pictures the day previously I had changed my camera settings to pure JPGs instead of RAW - oh, how I wish I had a RAW original of this shot. But I don't and I can't turn back the clock. I'll just have to wait for my next opportunity.

Adjustments made in PSCS2 : levels, curves and hue/sat to brighten the colours a little. Fixed aspect ration crop and small amount of Smart Sharpen.

The little foal is adorable, but the focus on the head seems to be just the tinest bit off.

Very cute, great exposure and colours. Would love to see this in a more natural setting (not on a road).

What a cutie! Nice light too, I love soft light like that. Composition, could use a fraction more room above the ears and not quite as centered.
