Nice dreamy feel to this one. Looks like something from a specialty calendar...

Judy,

You've given me such wonderful comments on some of my photos and I cannot go another second without showing you how grateful I am by returning the gesture.

This is an absolutely magnificent shot. I love the soft effect you've given to it and that horse is quite the beauty. (Reminds me of one of our loner horses) You've given a mighty tug on my heartstrings with all the pieces devoted to this image and it's going right into my favorites.

Excellent catch, superb editing, I wish it were mine but since it isn't I'm glad you were able to get it so atleast I can admire over it!

the coloring here is really great. the horse is a bit blown-out, but it works for this ethereal shot.

Beautifully done. (Is this that famous 'horse of a different color' we hear so much about?) wonderfully evocative image.

The colors and soft dreamlike state evoked here is really hard to do in a photo such as this. The demure color palette is soothing and enchanting. Nice work!

a very dreamy view...nicely done. The only distractant is the blown out are on the horses back.

Fitting title. Beautiful composition.

I think the soft focus effect here is slightly overdone, and the whole photo seems a little bright to me. The horse is slightly blown in the middle, and there is actually no black in the photo, which gives it a washed out appearence.

What a neat compostion. I like how you captured this beautiful horse in the upper right hand side of the frame with all the grass below leading up to him. Very pretty!

Like a painting, good processing, I like it. The little tree in the front unbalances the image however, I would have gone in at a slight angle more to the right. Otherwise very good.

Aptly titled - you succeeded in creating a very mysterious mood here. Love the tones, the composition, the contrasts. I can see why this is your best of 2005!

This is a stunning photo that looks like a work of art! Your title adds to the wonderful feeling of it! I love the colors. The softness, and the composition of where the horse is in connection with the background and all that beautiful golden grass in the foreground. Fantastic job!!
