Description Two Friesian stallions in harness.
I'm really curious what you all think of this. I might have gone overboard with the black background and high contrast. But on the other hand, I do like it.

I love it. They seem to be emerging from the darkness, all gleaming black and controlled power. Excellent!

I love this picture! I think the high contrast has an awesome effect of making the friesians look as if they are emerging from the darkness.

Very dramatic. It sort of looks like a still shot from a dream, there's a lot of stories that could be weaved into this one image. I like it a lot

Lovely job! Did you crop out the background or adjust the contrast to make it like that? If you didn't crop it, I'd like to know how you achieved that effect. I agree with ; it makes their highlights stand out.

KonikPolski In reply to RoxMad [2007-12-03 20:17:03 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I did crop it out and replace it with a solid black one. Then I adjusted the contrast of the horses to fit the black. So I cant really help you I'm afraid.

I really like it.

I'm rather curious to see it in black and white though.

Thank you. That is a good idea, I always forget that black and white is an option too.

Works for me, definitely. On the other hand, I'm a bit biased because I like Friesians so much. But for some reason they look fantastic on black background when all the highlights in their fur really stand out.
