| Well, I am back again too. Nobody mentioned the pose that you have decided to go with - it is if the horse was very shy, a great choice. It emphasizes the innocence and strength at the same time. I am also back to say that I am very pleased you posted the "how to" notes. I am a big fan of photomatix, it brings out the color and the detail so well! You reminded me that for the single image toning creating virtual copies at +-x works very well (I also use Lightroom). Thanks! Good luck with the competition! |

| Sheesh, I'm back again to look at this...it's just so amazing, and I definitely feel some kind of emotional connection to it...maybe because I have always loved horses so much. I LOVE this, one of the finest photographs I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. Ordering a print is definitely on my list at this point, I don't think I will be satisfied unless I can look at this all the time. |

Lovely shot Tareq, it turned out really well, the shadows of the forelock really interact well with the vascularity of the head. I know I'm in the minority, but I still think a touch more room on the right is warranted to balance out the length of shoulder. Great job, ought to ribbon.
PS comment only since I know the shot. |
