Hunt Test Horse

A wrangler's hunt test horse waits for his rider to mount up. He

carried the event's marshal through two days of muddy field tromping

and bird handling. These horses, which work around shotgun fire,

are "bombproof," to use the vernacular. They've seen it all. This

image views best at full height. Thanks for visiting.

Interesting angle you've chosen. Nice soft colors. I like the reflection in the horse eye.

Much to fascinate here. Wonderfully composed with a great multi-colored bokeh, I like the study in sharp focus and depth of field. Absolutely original, I've seen 1,238,217 horse shots so far but none like this.

A beautifully unique photo! I particularly like the crisp reflection in the eye. And, your bio photo...you do look different than I imagined you.

Such an impressive photo !

 

perfectly composed and the tones and shapes of the background are absolutely. The focus on the reflection in the eye is brilliant.

 

Beeing myself very open to post production ( even if I don't process my own photos very much ), I have to say that I'm really impressed by your result here where others would spend hours on photoshop and not beeing able to achieve such perfection

When I saw this image in your gallery it had a wonderful magnetic draw to it and it's so spot on at many different levels

Hello Matt . Very interesting expression in his eyes and the blur from picture . Regards .

emotion. Brilliant composition and DOF. Regards, MM

 

Very beautiful image; I love the way you focused on the eye instead of the horse as a whole...it makes for a very unique photo. I love it! Thank you for sharing! :)

Fantastic shot Matt.  One of my favorites in your portfolio because it is simple, not busy.
