| The idea is interesting, the overexposure spoils it a bit and sharpness is midway between a more decided and pleasant out of focus or tack sharp, which I am guessing is either due to limits of the camera or simply to this being a tiny crop from a much wider image. Being closer to the animals would have helped, even if the crop and/or the long focal lens help compressing distances and enhancing the feeling of a tight pack. The range of the image is quite vast, no direct light shining on the flanks of the horses, which makes difficult to retain shadow details on the brown ones. However, this almost backlit lighting is often used when photographing horses, as ri light on horses hair works just great and dust and frontal lighting create diffraction, which works well with this kind of shot. Panning from a closer distance could work as well, if you wish to convey a sense of speed. I have seen the same 'odd one' concept in a photo taken from an helicopter, which really worked great. Sorry for the longwinded comment. If you have a chance is definitely worth another try, you could get some great images. |
