The Baby horse "Freddy" was born yesterday (21st). Went out to my wife's barn to get a few pictures.
Nothing special about the picture. Probably should have used f4/f5.6 rather than 2.8. Oh well. Contrast added, converted to B&W, non-crop (zero), unsharp mask, and a bit of grain added.
I actually like the slight "motion" blur of the colt. Will people see this as "Rule of Thirds"... Guessing high 5s...
Post Challenge Comments:
One of my goals with any "Rule of Thirds" challenge is to have the rule applied on multiple levels. While I think I managed this to some degree, I also managed to create a photo that was very one dimension (no depth in photo). Next time. This was my first repeat challenge.

Sweet picture, some more practice with the B&W conversion and this will get even better. B&W conversion is still a weak area for me. I hear PS3 has some cool tools for that.
I see this as meeting the rule of thirds on multiple levels, and I really like the picture, too. Very sweet, very touching, and I think the coversion is quite good. Nicely done!
