Challenge: The Username Challenge II (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM
Location: arena
Date: May 22, 2007
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 250
Shutter: 1/400
Galleries: Animals, Action
Date Uploaded: May 22, 2007

 found an obscure username that i knew for sure I could get a photo of! bummer about the post top.... I'm going to spray paint them to match he rest of the post.

Washed the white horse and turned him out to play.
Converted in RAW. Crop, levels, USM, resize

My favorite comment during the challenge: e301 - Decent shot - detail, timing, processing. The only problem for me is that it lacks adventure photographically - it's just a tightly framed shot of a horse running. Maybe there was a way to show the energy, strength, dynamism without being so obvious in your framing?

Magnificence here. Not sure about the cropping- even cropping just at the top of the ears improves it in my whatever opinion, and gets the tip of the tail, part of a great dynamic diagonal, pointing at the top corner. It also emphasizes the horse's lift off from the ground. Such a great capture of your horse, I hope you play with it some more. (No quarrels with the horse).

Magical.
Though it's not a Unicorn, when I saw this thumb, I was instantly reminded of the movie Legend.
Want me to Photoshop in a horn for you? (just kidding) Stunning shot!

Black and white would seem the perfect choice for this image, and the image is certainly perfect for the challenge. A lovely capture of this beautiful horse.

a beauty horse photo. The contrast really brings the house out well against the background. The focus just seems a tad soft on the horse - its ok on the legs showing the motion but on the face, its just a little blurry.
