Of Course There Was a Horse or Two

[NCBobD]

Still working through Thursday morning's trip to the reserve. I found some horses on, of all places, Horse Island. Honestly I've always kind of chuckled at the name as I'd never seen horses on it before. I can't say that any more. Canon 40D, Sigman 50-500mm, hand held from the kayak.

Looks like you had a good morning for horses. I like the first one in particular. That out of focus foreground grass adds a sort of dreamy feeling to it for some reason. I know that sounds odd, but that's the feeling I get on that one. The others are tack sharp portraits.

More Goodies from Wrangler Bob!

I'm very partial to the 3rd and 4th for the more "attentive" poses!

Really like the images Bob ... And I have to admit that I am not normally a fan of horse photos

Bob, I think all of these look good. But the one out of the eight I would definitely want on my wall as a framed picture is the 1st image. I love that one, even with the horizon in the middle of the frame. I love the blurred foreground, that gives it just a tad of dreaminess. I also where you positioned the subject in the frame. For me the framing for the subject is just right. That image has a story quality to it, while the other images don't (at least from my perspective). And I think most of my reason for me feeling that way is how you framed it and the space you have around the subject. I know I only represent myself, but I think the first image is right on ... just the way I would want it. If I was going to change anything, I might clone out that one blurry grass blade in front of the chest. But even with it, I love that image.

Thanks everyone. Appreciate all the comments.
