This is part of the last wild herd of ponies in the mountains of Virginia. The only other wild ponies are on Assoteague & Chincoteague Islands in the Chesapeake Bay. Went on a hiking/camping trip from Elk Garden to Mt Rogers (the highest peak in VA) and then down to Grayson State Park in SW VA.
Created HDR & tone mapped from single RAW file. Additional PP included: crop, levels, curves, LucisArt, dodge/burn, gaussian blur, color sat, NI, resize, sharpen, save for Web.

What??? I can't believe mine beat this. (soni pinches herself in hopes to awaken from a bad dream) Ouch! nope, still a bad score..that sucks! I really like this one. Perfect!
I really like the colours here, with the horses sympathetically blending in with the bracken - and the great backdrop. Not sure about the pp - but a lovely shot overall.
So pretty. It popped up after a few that weren't so good, so what a refreshing change. I hope this does well for you. It is lovely and would make a gorgeous print!
