Horse hooves

I was recently engaged in a discussion about seeing things in partials. This picture would have been a great example.

Seeing Things in Part, Rather than as a Whole

Doug, I pondered this picture last night and have gained new insight (into seeing things in parts). It is posted in the above thread.

I like the groomed hooves, their spacing, and the contrast between it and the two hind hooves of the other animal. This is a shot that wouldn't have occurred to me.

Hey Mike, That's an interesting conversation, to be sure. Seems like we (photographers) have been shooting partials forever, considering any crop can be opened up a little more, and that no subject exists in a void. Even a void has boundaries, I would say.

Glad you like the meat series, too.
