 My post processing skills are so limited that even though I had a couple of potentially great landscape shots I would have like to have put into this challenge, the more I worked on them, the less I liked them, and was convinced I wasn't doing them any justice.

And so, I've reverted back to Exmoor ponies because they make such wonderful subjects and have certainly provided my favourite, and probably best shots of 2007.

This lad was actually trotting away from me when I took a series of 3 shots of him. In spite of his muddy neck, I have always liked this shot as it really shows the spirit and grace of the wild Exmoor pony.

Nice warm colours in the background and the horse stands out nicely. Good highlight in the eye, .... but ... to me there is no real WOW factor.
