A horse is a horse of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse of course..unless he's Mr. ED.........
Nice work . Voted

Is it a new communication way? JL Voted

This is really funny although that nosy hoese doesn't appear to be laughing! Lol! Horses can be so curious if they don't know what you are doing. I had one come over and watch me as I was photographing the fence line shadows early in the morning, so of couse I took his picture too. Voted.

What a closeup!
Kees Terberg21-Apr-2007 21:01
Hehehe... did you really need that big zoom? What a cracking shot!!!
Bob Foisel09-Apr-2007 23:30
I've got to switch to Nikon, those lens have awesome Macro ability.
Ron Asp02-Apr-2007 09:13

This is incredibly near! And I like your tips about wearing the hat backwards...I nevew knew that horses knew what was back and front.... A winner! I Vote!
Greg Harp25-Mar-2007 02:01
LOL. Outstanding shot.
Jay Levin24-Mar-2007 08:03
You're very lucky, Buz. Canon horses wouldn't put up with this!
Renee Lockett23-Feb-2007 22:30
hehehee! What a fun SP, Buz. Thanks for teaching me the "wear your hat backwards" trick! :)
Guest 16-Feb-2007 20:33
Hehe.. that was really close. :)
Guest 28-Jan-2007 07:37
May I suggest you zoom with your feet...QUICKLY!! Funny shot!!
Guest 27-Jan-2007 03:21
Horse snot coating for your lense. Haven't tried that yet. Thinking about a new career as ENT doc, Buz?
Chris Thorpe21-Jan-2007 01:51
Lol...you rock the stables!
Bryan Murahashi19-Jan-2007 06:41
LOL, fun capture. The horse seems to enjoy the fun moment as well.
Guest 17-Jan-2007 13:18
That trick of wearing your hat backwards, no wonder I haven't been able to get close to my subjects.

I hope you had a VR lens for horsing around, Buz!
Johnny JAG02-Jan-2007 06:21
Brilliant, though I think you should have been a yard closer. Brightened my morning, thanks.
Olaf Herrig02-Jan-2007 05:38
Great shot! :-)
Yi Feng02-Jan-2007 04:41
Love it! Made me laugh. Good tips, Buz.
Monte Stevens02-Jan-2007 04:41
Having the hat on backwards does make us a better photographer! LOL!
Elaine (etfitz)02-Jan-2007 04:17
Fun image! Beautiful horse!
Buz Kiefer02-Jan-2007 03:48
Breland, it doesn't show too much in this shot but Dick and I were killing ourselves laughing. It took several shots to get one where Dick and I could hold the cameras still at the same time. This horse just stood there the whole time nosing the camera.
Katie Chew02-Jan-2007 03:43
LOL! Way too funny!
Breland02-Jan-2007 03:38
Well you have him/her posing very nice and winning by a nose. Very funny shot with some good tips Buz. I tried some of them and they worked. You and dick must have had a great time making this shot.
Guest 02-Jan-2007 03:36
:):) Hope your lens cap was on!!! This is so funny.
petesie02-Jan-2007 03:06
(4) Pray your prey doesn't sneeze! This is hilarious, Buz.
Coleen Perilloux Landry02-Jan-2007 02:49
Funny. Did you get a good shot of his nostril?
Guest 02-Jan-2007 02:48
LOL! What exactly were you trying to shoot?
Cindy Flood02-Jan-2007 01:41
LOL!!! Happy New Year, Buz. Thanks for the shooting tips. I think I have them down pat...except for the hat on backwards part :).
Kathy Thompson02-Jan-2007 00:41
LOL. Very funny shot! Love your stalking tips!
s_barbour02-Jan-2007 00:39
lol...well done!~
laine8201-Jan-2007 23:43
If he takes a bite out of that lens you should still have enough left for wide angles, Buz. LOL!!
J. Scott Coile01-Jan-2007 23:42
You crack me up. Thanks for the smile!
Richard Vance01-Jan-2007 23:24
I've looked everywhere for one of those caps with the bill on the back but can't find one. All the ones I see have the bill on the front. Where did you get yours? ROFL!
One of my favorite shots, Buz. I still laugh every time I see it.
Great stalking tips, too. Vote!
Dick:)
Jola Dziubinska01-Jan-2007 23:22
He is looking in his nose, Bill ;)
Point 3 is the most clever LOL. Great shot and thanks for the rules to follow, Buz :))
