 My girlfriend is a little bit afraid of horses ever since she was bucked off as a child. She and the horses were quite friendly that day on the Thanksgiving long weekend here in Canada. It was such a touching sight to see her resting her head against the grey mare's.
I didn't quite catch it but there was a moment when both of them had their eyes closed as if they were sleeping.

Post work was a quick resize and a black and white conversion.

*Edit* I purchased a wood frame with an aged look to it and the photo looks awesome in it! (Too good as my girlfriend won't let me put it on my desk at work and instead has it prominently displayed in our living room).

Wow, amazing image. I'd almost title this "communion". It seems like the horse is understanding what emotions the gal holds in her heart.

Awwwwwwwww!!!!!! The emotive factor is off-the-chart on this one. For me, it would more than make up if there were any slight technical flaws! 10

remarkable feeling of tenderness from two places I almost never see tenderness: in horses and in teenagers! 7 for now
