Into the Light
by Jim Thode

Washington State USA

Taken with the horse at run in the late evening sunlight. Exposure was set to prevent the white on his nose from over exposing and it resulting in a dark background. Shot a few hundred jpeg files in this setting and this was my favorite.

This is my pick. Not only because it is a stunningly beautiful image, but because it was done on the run in difficult conditions.

Almost looks like a studio setup and the horse posing for you.
A beautiful shot.

Perfect exposure and very appealing b/w rendering. Would be my pick but I like the Spirit Lake shot even better.

Choosing from your four is very, very difficult. This ends up being my favorite, just because how you captured the photo. But, your four have made me go and look at your other galleries. All I can really say is WOW!!! I'm amazed, you take some really awesome shots and I hope to one day be 1/2 as talented.
