The White Horse

Comments, ratings on b&w horse--the highlights burned out a bit

here, even though it was gloomy gray day. Thanks.

Great tones on this, and I love the contrast. Beautiful piece of work. Nice to see something that defies the laws of photography and still comes out on top. Nice job.

Great photograph! I find the white areas of the sky visually distracting from the horse,post and

wire. I would like to see those areas darker so my eye does not wonder from what is important in the foreground. Great tones in this black and white.

Beautiful shot. The weathered post, barbed wire, and barren pasture contrast well with the almost mystical-appearing white horse. I think you've held the detail in the whites admirably well while still allowing the horse to glow.

well spoted subject for bw shot. Iam not an expert but if I was to suggest somethng : I would try to avoid placing an important element (horse head in this case ) over any long/ visable / important geometrical element ( horizon line ) Just a suggestion . Best Regards PK .

Piotr, I would say you are something of an expert, since your portraits are consistently among the best on this site and this is essentially a portrait. Thanks for your suggestion. I may return to this spot. There were actually three friendly white horses: perhaps I can bribe them with carrots and apples.

Very nice photo. It's not a bad thing to go back to a place and shoot again!

I like this shot... there is nothing that I can say constructive about it... but... I like the two in the holga shot a way more... way more feeling.... but this stands great alone as it is here ! ! !
