    That's just horses. Kicking at each other (without really causing much damage) is just their way of communicating who's boss for the day - and it can change frequently. Then - they're best buds ne_nau.gif

    Nice capture but I'm not crazy about the post - the blurring of the background seems to have created a halo around their outlines and their faces seem a little out of focus.

    I'm with Snowgirl, I think the composition has a lot of potential, but the blown and blurry look doesn't do it justice. Do you have other versions of this?
    Creativity's hard.

    Better, I think nod.gif

    Overexposed in places but I think it's still more pleasing than the first. Did the overexposure prompt you to try the processing?

    Hi. I agree that the original is much nicer. If you wanted to play a bit with your excess software, you could try salvaging the highlight info. and bringing up the shadow on the (camera) right side of the upper horse's face - just a titch though. (Not sure how to measure a titch but I suspect we're of a similar vintage and you'll know what I mean!)mwink.gif

    Ahhhh gee -- I really liked the edited photo and then took a look at the original. Now I don't know which I like better. Suppose it all depends on the mood one is in when looking at either of them.

    You did a good on your editing from the original :D
