20110611 - What a Grey Day

Well, at least the weather was 'interesting'.
I walked to this horsie - and I STILL didn't have any mints!
I think Mr. Doug is right, this one definitely remembered that I should have had mints - kept nuzzling in my pockets to check!

Mgazines do articles about how to photomangle 3 images together to make dramatic compositions.
Once again you have come up trumps with this one straight out of the camera
Guest 12-Jun-2011 01:24
Great tones and light; very dramatic in B&W.

Superb capture, Phillip...love the angle.

Wonderfully lit and prepared image of this magnificent horse. Reminds me of "The Man from Snowy River". Ahem. "There was movement at the station for the word had passed around that the colt from old Regret had got away. ......" V

Brilliant light and shade Mr. N.

Reminds me of my trip to your neck of the woods when I caught Christine falling in love with a horse!

Powerful picture with the deep sky and highlights. Can't help thinking that you are just teasing the poor guys.
