Be My Friend by jennyi

I chose this as a favorite because it received Honorable Mention in the 2006 Idaho Outdoors photo contest. There were about 1,200 entries. Five were chosen to win prizes, and the 41 chosen for Honorable Mention. I was happy.This is just a tiny different version of the one I sent in to the contest.

Olympus E-300
1/250s f/4.5 at 75.0mm iso100 full exif

Thanks for this expressive and well balanced 'portrait' Jenni - I really do enjoy close crops like this, Adrian

The light dancing around the wrinkles of the darker hors is amazing. I love the idea of a "hairy beast" having whiskers. Look at the strength throughout the muzzles and the white horse's puckering lips - empathatically chewing (akin to our mouths watering). A wonderful shot jennyi!

Nicely cropped and I love it. Look at those old wrinkled lips and whiskers! They remind me of a couple of old women. Well, at least she still has her teeth. ;o)
