 Icelandic horses on one of the most remote farms in northeast of Iceland, Sænautasel is the name of the farm, abandoned many years a ago but is kept alive with restaurant and horse renting. A notebook upload on family vacation.. so the colors could be totally out of balance but looks very nice on my sons eBook.

Almost straight from the camera - just cropped a bit, used levels, curves, resized before sharphening, framed and saved for the web.

I think any image with these horses in it will do well. The lighting, the setting, and their posture are all top notch. Thought this would hit the front page.

Flock of Seagulls???? Hilarious. Such a moody sky. Did they really let you get this close, or did you have one heck of a lens???

I wish you had used a slightly longer lens and a shallow depth of field to make this trio really stand out.

The lens really makes this odd, but what makes it a 8 is what appears to be over smoothing and lighting seems flat.
