It was miserable, gross wet and rainy out...but we were troopers and shot through the rain. She had a ball despite being cold and wet when we were finished!
Anyway looking for some C&C if you please!
Thanks!

    Holy Cow...or should I say Horse...:D
    I absolutely love the 2nd one! That is by far my fav!!
    The rest are fine, but a little too soft for my taste, but that is me.
    I really like the B&W (5th image) one. Unusual crop but it works for me! I like it!

    Overall, I think you really know how to capture the feeling and did it nicely!

    just my opinion: the super soft and dreamy treatment always makes me feel like I'm looking at photos of someone who has passed away, like at a remembrance or funeral. :cry Hopefully that's not the case here.
    Since 2004...

    :D Thank you!
    You have picked a couple of my favs...I am partial to both of those you mentioned.
    Interaction between a girl and her horse, it's flukey pictures that mean the most...i try to get them to be normal...just go about their business like i am not there...it dosen't always work...but I was able to find a lot of fabulous moments with these two! the number 5 was cropped in the camera..i kind of missed her nose, but it really speaks to me this way..I don't see her missing nose, I see her eye, following calmly behind her girl!

    thanks for your comments! I appreciate them!:D

    Not at all the case here thankfully...both are happy and healthy!

    But I completly agree with you about the dreamy effect...my clients are asking for this...cause they saw it on another picture, Am I making it too soft...should I tone it down? Or should i keep the effect at the strenght that it is up above?

    I am trying to wean off of it...but they are loving it!!!rolleyes1.gif

    Very nice series. thumb.gif I like the 2nd and 3th the most.
    The softness of the 3th really work for me, while the 6th is a bit too much for my taste.

    Thanks for sharing.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    #2 is it
    For sure #2...that's a keeper. 6,7, & 8 are good shots but you need to rid the dreamy look....soft is ok to a point but overdone can take away from a nice composition.
