Big Gentle Horses in the Pasture

[NJMAN]

I'm not sure if I'm posting these in the correct category. But this seemed like the best spot, because these were the most friendly docile creatures I have ever seen. The guy that owns them treats them like they were his own kids. They were so curious, and kept on coming up to me and checking out what I was doing. So, I think they would quality as lovable pets. C&C always welcome. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for looking!

I really like the first shot. Something about the feeling of depth with the road winding away in the background grabs my attention.

 

[Fidge]

one really has a magical quality to it

The first one looks like an old Hollywood painted sound stage. Beautiful horses.

love the first shot almost has a slight HDR feeling, much post processing?

 

[AbelR74]

I like your second shot the best! Your first shot seems to have a bit of a haze on it in my opinion. Just a tiny bit though....

I love the first one. What a great picture.

 

[Alex_B]

the horses on the second one look a bit over-plastic. much post-processing?

colours are nice.

Thanks again everyone for the nice comments!

Mesoam: Not much, no. I always process my photos, but for these, I just did some brightening, a little boost in saturation, and also sharpened a bit. These are not HDR, just one image processed in PS only. Thanks for the kind words!

Abel: Thanks!

ga_shooter: Thank you! Very nice of you to comment.

Alex: I agree. The second one turned out just a bit different. It had to do with how I set the Reduce Noise filter in PS. If I go a little bit too far on one of the controls, it gives this effect. But overall, not much post processing. Just the usual tweaks I normally do in PS. Thanks for the nice comment.
