Horses met while walking around...

Superb shot! (nice to see another TLR user on the site!).

What do you think about this photo ?

I shot it quickly, while walking around. It seems nice to my eyes,

but at the same time, it seems to miss something to make it really

beautifull. But I probably would take the same one tommorrow. Indeed

I don't know what is wrong or missing. How could it be better ? Can

you help ?

Thanks in advance !

This is a wonderful image! I see nothing wrong with it......wish it were mine...

It looks surreal- did you edit it or anything? It's very crisp and it was a great catch with the horse's lip caught up on the other's nose like that.

I "photoshoped" it in order to remove one wire, running in front of the horses, at the height of their legs (top of the legs). But this is the only editing I made. The horses were really looking like this about 1.5 meter in front of me... In fact they were looking at the dog I was walking with (a 2 years old newfoundland dog). I think that the fact it is so crisp must be the result of the 6*6 negative, a stable handling of the TLR (I guess it was 1/250th of a second, but I am not sure), and the Fuji Frontier scan...

hmm. all they are missing are horns!

Wow - well i think another thing that makes it look so surreal is how the horizon line is almost perfectly behind the horses so that you see grass below them and sky above - it's an excellent catch!

Very nice image. Only improvement might be a little fill flash to put a catch light in their eyes.
