This one gets it. A very fine picture. You are invited to check out my pics of Trigger, Jr., and Scout. You do know who rode Scout, don't you? Hint: The other guy wore a mask and rode a white hore

Location
Taken on Shackleford Island, North Carolina. Waiting for the boat to take us back to town after searching the dunes for these special horses, I decided to walk down the beach. I could feel something behind me, like someone was following or watching me. I turned around slowly and there stood this magnificent stallion. He didn’t move. In all his stature, he stood still and just watched me. I talked to him in a soft voice as I raised my camera. I wasn’t sure what his reaction might be. He didn’t move, he just stood there letting me take all the photographs I wanted. Sadly, the boat arrived and I had to leave. Walking to the boat I turned, and he was watching me leave. Finally, he turned and slowly walked into the dunes. Such a moment, one I will never forget.Time
It was probably getting close to noon-1PM.Lighting
Nothing special about lighting. I just snapped away as I had no idea how long the stallion would stay.Equipment
Cannon50D, 70-300MM lens. No tripod, flash, etc. as I was walking thru and climbing the dunes.Inspiration
The magnificence of this wild stallion so close to me, not moving.Editing
I may have cropped the photo with light sharpening and maybe a little color touch of the sky.In my camera bag
Cannon 50D and 70-300MM lens, battery and a sun shield to go over the end of the lens.Feedback
I wish I could give advice to someone but I am an amateur photographer, still learning.
