I took this photograph on a very foggy morning. I was focusing on the horse galloping and didn't notice the birds until I looked at the image in the monitor. Marisa

    Marvelous capture Marisa. clap.gif Love the composition in the shot.

    Is the tilt on the horizon intentional? Normally I would suggest straightening it but in this shot it works.

    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!"

    Harry,
    The tilt wasn't intentional. The horse got spooked and started running so I took the picture quickly. Also, I was behind a barbed wire fence so I was working on tippy-toes!

    The motion blur in the horse's hooves really imparts a sense of motion to this very pleasing image.
