 An Exmoor pony taken high up on the moor in the bracken. Shot in RAW, converted using Olympus Master. Levels, curves, adjustments to colour (colour balance/selective colour/hue & sat) to slightly reduce red tones and emphasise black points, all in PSCS2.
There's a weird thing going on in this picture, on the stomach between the two front legs - not sure what happened and I'm sure I'll get penalised for it, but although I had several goes at trying to edit it, I'm not good enough to get it looking natural, so decided to leave it as is.

Hope I don't get shot down in flames for it ... and maybe someone will enlighten me as to what has happened.

Stunning clarity and color. The detail in the hair is beautiful. and I can only complain about the impression that her legs are missing.
