Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 500

 Opened in ACR, converted to b&w, cropped, adjusted contrast, brightness.

Since the crop seemed to bother so many I redid it for the fun of it. Here is the second crop. There is no more to the legs as it was shot with a long lens and the horse was running toward us.

This is awesome and appears to be taken of the same as the other horse rearing, I just wish you had been able to get more of the legs and tail in the frame. Still beautiful 8

Beautiful horse nicely focused and the light is good but I find the crop a bit uncomfortable.

This photo looks like the house is very proud. Good job capturing that. The lighting adds a mystical feeling to the photo.

I would have cropped this differently with the horses eyes more on a third line, but I love the tones and action in this.

Gorgeous horse. Love the B&W. But the crop seems a bit harsh on the legs.
