Mares with their Colts and Fillies

Wonderful image! Ivana :-)

I appreciate you commenting, Ivana... this pasture of mare's foaling and their colts n fillies was such a beautiful site to experience

Beautifully done, what gorgeous creatures. B&W is perfect for this.

thank you Sarah... I appreciate your time.... I have been watching this pasture for the last 5 months on my backroad drive to and from Florida.... I love everything about "the Thunder Beings".... their wild mane and soft nose, their movements, their smell, their Spirits .... I hope to spend some time with this group next week... regards

Perfect composition, light, mood!

Nice capture! I like the balance of darker tones on the bottom and lighter on the top. Great work....congrats....LJ

... thanks, Antanas and Lesa ... needs a few adjustments, me thinks

This is a shot for those who stop and take time to smell the roses in life. Some will miss the beauty of this photograph and some will not.

 

Sheryl, you have posted a gift for those who will pause and use that extra moment to see.

 

Congratulations! ~Sky

good to see you, Sky.... your comment means alot.... you know where I'm coming from ... have a great Season

I just love this...it has a retro feel to it ...but what a FACE...soft nose, I love that dab of mane hanging....

thanks Deb... all of the mares looked "worn out", especially the pregnant ones ...(ha...me smiles... a mother's work is never done) .... I love your photos of the "Thunder Beings" ... thanks for sharing

Nicely composed. The darker, lower face provides beautiful contrast. Great viewpoint. Regards, Kelvin.

thank you Kelvin... I appreciate your time

I like the composition but I find the somewhat excessive resistance between white and black. Perhaps, in my opinion, the photo would improve if outside possible to obtain more detail in both pitch ends. Thanks for your commentaries on my drawing sketches. Regards.

thank you, Gerardo... your point is well taken... I appreciate your support :-)

You have remained true to yourself in the more than one year I have followed your work. That, I find more remarkable that pixel counts. I a gree with the other commentator that this picture could use a minor contrast adjustment. However, I don't thing overphotoshopping it is the solution. Perhaps, you could make a print of it, burning in the top, then scan that print. Good luck.

very nice...

thank you, Giuliano... it's always a pleasure to have your kind words... regards

Sheryl, what a beautiful capture. B/W was a perfect choice for this very touching image. I love how the baby is sheltered by it's calm and proud mama. Regards. Denise

thanks for commenting, Denise... I'm glad you like this one...

Wonderful contrast and composition, it gives the image a magical feeling. The ones are very complimentary.
