Horse

I've had this in my folder awhile. Never placed for critique,

however, several comments from others suggested I crop a little on

the left, so I did and I like it better too. Thank You. I like

constructive criticism, but I'm fairly new to this board and serious

photography in general. I know I'm not a professional photographer,

tell me something I don't know. Thanks

Nice framing , the subject has been well isolated from the background and the unusual position for taking the photograph has produced a striking composition.

While the background could perhaps benefit from being a bit more uniform (no white lines), that's a nitpick. This is very good: interesting viewpoint, excellent lighting which brings out both the form of the horse's body and the mane and whiskers with the subtle backlighting. There's a nice bit of movement (wind) and I like the bit of mane that's visible on the extreme right - it adds balance to the composition.

Domonique, the white lines were Burch trees way far away across a large pond, compressed because I was using a 28-300mm and was standing at least 20-30 feet( maybe more) from this big guy. He was not particularly happy to see me invading his space. He was large I was small! He was eating, and I was glad it wasn't me. I agree, the white lines should go.

Great Shot !

What a GREAT photo Jayme!!! Excellent lighting, a beautiful horse and a great photographer. Congratulations for your work.

 

Great pic!!

Thank you for your wonderful comments and suggestions. I have used them all.

this is a beautiful photo Jayme. Fabulous light, love the earthy colors, and nice positioning. super detail too. i could opt for a tad more looking space in front of the horse, but of course, that's just personal opinion. lovely animal and peaceful mood.

Very nice backlite! Beautiful horse! Actually, horses all are beautiful, it's really up the photographer to catch them in the right moment. You did great on this photo! Best regards!
