My first time on this board. Looking for some honest opinions of this horse shot I got while being out in the pasture at one of the local barns.

    wave.gif Good to have you here, Energy. Post plenty, folks here have an appetite for it.

    Nice pose with the horsies. Is the back one fully in focus? A little hard to tell with the small pic. Things that might make the shot even better are different lighting - it's a little flat, no highlights, doesn't add anything to the shot - and a more interesting background, or a background that's out of focus, so as to make the horses stand-out.

    Nice shot, mate or matesse. mwink.gif
    Sid.

    Humungus, The gray is an Arabian....not sure of the other. Have no way to post a larger one at the moment since the attachments have to be a certain size.

    WxWax, I am outside and it was kinda overcast which is probably why it looks a little flat. What would you suggest to get better highlights next time. Can't use a flash around the horses, some spook when you do so not a good idea.

    The rear one is more in focus than the other and they were just so close to that darn fence that I could not throw the background out of focus more without using photoshop to do it.

    Particulars are as follows: ISO 100, Aperature 5.0, Speed 1/180, Shot with a Canon 10D and a 100-400 f4.5/5.6 IS at 285mm.

    Cropped Horses
    Energy,

    I cropped out the white pole in the original, it was distracting to the major elements for me. I think it also minimized the background's influence. Highlighted and worked with the shawdows as much as I could off your pic, I love shooting wildlife...

    Wait for the light, I'm afraid. I'm slooooowly learning that lesson. Doesn't suit my impatient temperament.
