One dusky evening

He was rolling, I was snapping..

My only PP was to add the frame, underexpose them and saturate some.

I love the 2nd shot. The 1st shot I have never liked it when they cut the ears off, they show so much of the emotion of a horse.

ITA with the PP. With horses you need to see the ears to see the emotion IMO

Thank you for your comments! I just don't find myself in the "ears always" club. I take so many pictures of horses some times I just like to change it up.

Wow!!!!!! These are absolutely amazing. Is there an independent western store you could sell these to? Beautiful shots!

Sweetsomedays · Oct 2, 2007

No...but there is a local English store I have been thinking about asking to hang some of my photo's in. They are located across the driveway from the horse park/boarding facility and down the street from Del mar fair grounds and race track where I shoot allot of my photo's

They get allot of local traffic.

I actually like the one without the ears since its more silhouette-ish (that isn't a word is it? haha) I dont think the ears are necessary and I love the second one.

Amazing shots, with and without the ears.

Great shots indeed! The 2nd one is my fave of the 2, but the first is no slouch either. ;-)

I like the first one personally. ( but he does need a shave)

He's only 4! :lol:

I agree...my clippers died a while ago and I havent bothered to replace them.

Gorgeous!!

These are absolutely brilliant. My fav is #1. Okay, so it's time for a trim now, but thank heavens you didn't before taking this shot. The whiskers add all the elements that ears may have.

Well done!
