Brilliant capture, fantastic view and beautiful horses not one but two busy feeding. Nice colours and very clean shot...Like it!

Really nice. Tough shot to balance between the foreground and background lighting. You pulled that off nicely.

Location
The photo was taken at a friends horse ranch in Silt, ColoradoTime
Shortly after dawnLighting
The sun was a about to rise over the mountains, creating a warm even light.Equipment
Canon XSI, 27mm lens, shot at f.6, 1/124, ISO 200. I used the corral fence to steady the camera.Inspiration
The position of the two horses feeding, the early morning light and mountain backdrop.Editing
I used Photoshop Elements to crop and enhance the lighting and colors.In my camera bag
Currently I use a Canon 60D with 18-200mm lens. I also have a smaller, CanonSX 510 which is easier to carry on hikes etc.Feedback
Early morning light is wonderful and well worth crawling out of bed. Use a tripod when available and watchful of excessive shadows.
