Description
Went to see the Lipizzaners perform in Trenton today. It was a good show. Here they were demonstrating quadrille, a combination of dressage and battle maneuvers.Related content

I'm enjoying your horse pictures but what makes me want to comment here is the perspective. I like how you can see where the focus is because of the blur near the front and back of this line-up.

dressage evolved out of the combat maneuvers/training for war horses, did it not?

WOW - gorgeous gorgeous shot. That's a one in a million catch, nicely done! Love the pattern repetition and soft focus on the others except the middle horse.

Gorgeous photo! I wish there was a stronger focus, but the over all effect is lovely!

The focus is in the middle. The goal is to make one horse's face stand out in the line. The blur emphasizes the fact that the horses are uniform and draws out the repeating pattern of shiny boots and arched necks.

I realize the focus is on the middle, it just didn't seem strong enough to me by comparison. Horse number three coming from the left seems to be the main focus, but horse number four is just sharp enough to draw attention away from horse number three, causing minor conflict in my eye.

Goodness, that's an amazing shot. Are any of these photos for stock use? I seem to recall checking your policy on this at one point, but I've gone and forgotten. D:

I allow all of my photos to be used for reference purposes and allow SOME stock use, which can be discussed via notes.

Sweet. I take it that it includes the normal credit rules. x3
Only reason I'm asking is because you have some amazing pictures I'd love to use as a reference at one point.

Yeah, it would suck while in the clash and ruckus of battle to look up and suddenly get capriole'd in your face, lol.
Love Lipizzans. Always have.
I hope you have more to upload. This is a great series.
