This is an absolutely beautiful piece. It is wonderful lighting and control of shadows. I love the depth of field as well with just a hint of either the horses shoulder or belly along the left side to give the photo some added contrast.

Thank you it is one of my more recent favourites, a sad story this horse is now in horsey heaven after a pretty long fight for life :)

It is wonderful that you were able to capture the horse's soul in this picture. She looks strong and beautiful. If I hadn't read the comment I wouldn't have even thought that she was so sick. This was a beautiful farewell.

Perfect use of black and white well done
