 I was lucky enough to be staying with my friend who lives in the north west of Spain.
While I was there they had the festival "Curro das canizadas"
The rounding up, corralling, branding and mane and tail trimming of local wild horses.

The face in the foreground appears as an almost mythical human figure, a wild frontier lies ahead.

Nick, this is absolutely superb. The movement makes the shot. What a cool event. Your travel photos are great. I'm insanely jealous and can't wait to see more.

Just an amazing shot. Very artistic. The exposure / blur allows for the viewer to get a sense of the wild nature of the horses.

It is awesome - your processing is divine. Though my heart bleeds for those horses. What's with the need to squelch everything that's wild and beautiful?

Beautiful motion blur. I like the yellow tone - looks like dust in the air.
