for my tastes, love the color though. I photograph wild horses quite a bit, we have a couple of large herds here. There is no way to tell from the photo if they are indeed feral or not. Southern Utah is a bit out of their range, but it wouldn't suprise me greatly to find them anywhere in the west. It is not rare to see appaloosa markings. I've seen horses of every kind and color running wild, appys, pintos, chestnuts, buckskin, you name it, I've seen it in the wild. It is also untrue that you need an extreme telephoto. If you've spent any time at all around wild horses you will quickly learn how to get them to come to you, even with foals in the herd. In fact, I almost always have to swap out the 400mm zoom for a shorter lens as they get too close for the lens to focus. If anybody is interested in learning more about wild horses, they are managed by the BLM:

Any BLM field office where wild horses are managed will be able to direct you to an area where you are likely to find a herd.

Another photo-impressionism attempt.

First attempt at photo-impressionism. There are two others in the

folder, feel free to comment upon those as well.

More playing around with Autostitch.

Love the use of perspective in this one.

Went on a day trip to photograph mountains and the "slight" chance of

rain turned into a downpour. Not wanting to waste a 3 hour drive, I

found other stuff to do. I have no idea what this plant is, if anybody

does know, please tell me what they are. It also has very tall stalks

that I assume at some point get a flower on them. I was in an alpine

or maybe sub-alpine area near Teton Creek, WY.

Taken this past summer. If you have a rally in your area, *go*,

there's always plenty of color and contrast to shoot. Went for

contrast in scale in this shot.

A pile of images taken with my D-Rebel, stitched together with AutoStitch.

Came over a hill and found dinner going on!

I wish we had cardinals here! Beautiful capture.

Taken through a fence at Tracy Aviary, Salt Lake City. Put the lens

right up against the fencing to throw it out of focus, I think it

worked pretty well on this shot.

Wonderful use of leading line.

Wow. Great sky day, eh?

There's a tiny bit of shrubbery at the bottom left sticking into the frame that could be cloned out.

Great capture!

I think if you're going to do a shot like this you really need to have depth of field tack sharp front to back.

A bit too blocky in the shadows for my tastes, but a great capture!

Your water line is tilted enough to be noticeable, but not tilted enough to look intentional.

Nice use of contrast in texture.

Great shot. I've never seen that many birds in one place. And they didn't fly away on you!

Did you also shoot this in landscape orientation? I think I'd prefer it that way.

You might want to consider cloning out that little bit of tree? in the bottom right. It needs either more tree or none. Wish we got aurora here. The one time it was supposed to be visible this far south, we had 100% cloud cover for like a week :-(

Beautiful. This would look fantastic with the redecorating I'm doing right now. I'd hang it tomorrow! What did you use for the background?

This needs to be drastically cropped.

The reflection or whatever it is at the very bottom needs to be cloned out.
