Taken on a foggy winters day in the Icelandic countryside. I took quite a few photos of this group of horses but this one stuck out to me as "intimate", they just seem like they're old friends or such. Postprocessing includes mostly some playing around with contrast, levels and saturation.

The blown out whites that cause the horse on the left to partially disappear is kind of funky. The blueish eyes are a bit creepy. Interesting processing choices for an "Intimacy" challenge.

Nice image, does seems a bit over exposed and it looks like you have a group of dead pixels.

The horses are beautiful...just a touch too brite for me.

With the one on the left's ears back, it makes me think a fights gonna break out... not a scene of intimacy. But, I'll not fault you for that. I like the blown highlights... but wish I could see more of their legs instead of the blank sky.

Completely blown highlights make this an interesting picture. I reminds me of using an OOF background to keep interest on a portrait subject. Neat.

Blown background is distracting, maybe there's a reason?

I cant find intimacy here. And in my opinion its a bit overexposed or is it the post processing thing?

I'm not really sure what's intimate about this picture.

The horse on the left missing legs is distracting. Love the subject matter and style.
