09-10-04 horse and gate

Thank-you Gayle for suggesting the white eye solution!

This is a shot from the grounds of Crieff Hydro. I went out for a walk this morning to clear my head.
These guys were in the field minding their own business, when I appeared with camera in hand.
They carried on, munching away on the beech nuts, eating the neighbouring Rhododendrons, and
posing in a horsey manner, while I got my shots. After a wee while they even came over. I'm never
sure, whether it's OK to stroke a horse or not. Must be something to do with their size! Or maybe
it's because I remember my cousin getting bitten by one!

The photo was taken really early this morning, at about 8am. Very cold here, in fact my colleagues
car was warning us of the danger of ice due to the outside temperature.

Got all the way home safely and at a decent time, so I could watch the Scotland game. They promptly
repaid my endevour, by getting beaten. Oh well, there's more than a few hours left in the day, so
I'm off to cook a curry for tea!

Very peaceful! And your photo really capture the atmosphere!! Great capture. I wish there was a bit mist though, it will make your picture more dramatic :-)

Really nice shot, I like the way it's broken into sections with the fence wall and path. It all works well.

Very pretty! I like the way you've included the fence in your composition.

Beautiful pastoral photo ... I love the way you have broken up the picture plain with the rustic fence in the foreground .. lovely!

Thank-you Gayle! Sometimes the most simple ideas pass me by while I'm trying to imagine a cool but complex and difficult solution!

Beautiful composition! This is so well done and very worth saving and framing. I would just darken the eye with a bit of color.
