I will never forget the day I was taking pictures of these two haflinger horses when the sun was going down and this magical light appeared. The picture was taken at some beautiful August evening.

really lovely. Great dof!

Beautiful lighting and composition. This also would work well in portrait orientation taking just the right side of the image.

Such a lovely pair of palominos! The glow factor to this is awesome! Excellent capture!

nice image, great light, b&w need work, excellent dof, nice texture, color good, great comp, overall could be a nice print

I think this one would have been a lot better if you only used the right side of it.
01/27/2006 05:12:18 PM
cool photo, looks more like "Drug Deal" though
01/27/2006 01:46:10 AM
Gorgeous, I love the lighting.
01/27/2006 01:14:22 AM
Beautiful horses and lighting. 9, top ten shot for sure. Bumping to 10.
01/26/2006 10:14:55 PM
The light here is magical ... just plays great off the horses.
01/26/2006 08:33:47 AM
The sun-light natural lighting behind the horses, really works so well here in this image...
01/24/2006 03:14:22 PM
Very nice lighting, you were lucky to capture it with 2 beautiful horses!
01/24/2006 07:48:45 AM
Did you try cropping the horses, without the tree in the center. might have been better. Wonderful horses.
01/23/2006 05:22:39 PM
Equestrians unite! This is a lovely photo of these two animals. The composition works well, and I love the backlit manes.
01/23/2006 08:18:52 AM
Magical indeed! All they need are horns on their foreheads. 10
01/22/2006 07:14:55 AM
What a great shot! I have to give this a 10
01/21/2006 02:07:18 PM
very majestic looking. the lighting really does it...well done
01/21/2006 09:45:20 AM
wonderful backlighting; the tree is in the way.
01/20/2006 06:58:42 PM
You are right. the light has a magical quality in your superb photo. Well done. Among my top picks.
01/20/2006 02:57:55 PM
Stunning light....
01/20/2006 09:03:49 AM
Magical is the perfect title for this.
01/20/2006 09:00:13 AM
Love the play of light behind the horses. Overall picture is very well balanced. good luck
01/19/2006 11:23:49 PM
What an absolutely beautiful entry and so worthy of a very high placement. The tones are so amazingly soft yet there is so much strength in this image... very weel done
01/18/2006 09:12:06 PM
Amazing shot love it.
01/18/2006 06:41:55 PM

Nice capture!
01/18/2006 12:56:50 AM
i think having cropped it differently it would be better...but i am not taking that into consideration...i still like its a great shot! 9 from me...good luck!
01/17/2006 08:51:00 PM
Really is good light.
Way to capture it.
01/17/2006 08:08:15 PM
Great ethereal feel with the light on these horses. Wish the tree wasn't cutting one in half....but still a beautiful picture.
01/17/2006 07:35:23 PM
The backlighting on this shot is beautiful. The colors all compliment the palomino horses. Lovely 9
01/17/2006 12:41:10 PM
nice backlighting
01/17/2006 10:17:46 AM
Beautiful shot, might need to be sharpened a little.
01/17/2006 02:10:53 AM
magical indeed
01/16/2006 05:29:50 PM
Beautiful backlighting. I wish the middle horse wasn't obstructed by the tree. It seems a smidge dark despite all of the lightness in the background. Too bad you can't place them exactly where you want in the shot. I've stood for a long time trying to get horses to look just right myself. Still, a good effort.
01/16/2006 03:49:36 PM
This is just beutiful! The morning light tones. Those stunning animals! Very, very well done!
01/16/2006 01:02:44 PM
The tree is distracting...
01/16/2006 11:01:33 AM
When I give a photo a 10, it is because I feel it is wonderfual all the way around. Therefore, I have no real comment other than to say I gave you a 10!
01/16/2006 11:01:03 AM
Wow this is wonderful, the sunlight gives this shots mystical feel. I love it. Thanks for sharing this, amazing! 10
