Description I liked the look of this shot, if I could have arranged a shoot with a horse I’d want it to look something like this. It was an overcast day with a light wind blowing the horse’s mane. Often when I shoot horses they either just stare at me or go back to grazing, this horse seemed to be posing for me, and very dramatically at that.

I chose the name because the horse seems to have a presence for the camera, you could say this horse has a lot of what I like to call charasma

Edit: The critique by CozyComfyCouch reminded me that there was an eerie feeling like a storm was coming. It was great to be there at that time and experience that feeling with the horses.

Good shot. I like the wide angle lens choice. the junk in the background on the left has to go though.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

PaulMcKinnon In reply to proverbialcheese [2009-05-09 04:09:33 +0000 UTC]

Yes that piece of junk bothers me as well. I didn’t even notice it when I composed the pic, I was likely too caught up in the moment. When I saw the pic I actually started to clone it out but quickly gave up because it was very tedious and I figured I put it up as is, pretty much unedited, other than to make it b & w. I may take a crack at getting rid of it now though, maybe over time, a few pixels a week.

Anyway, thank you very much!
