A horse called Spirit

Borderfox

Went through some pictures I hadnt looked at in a while and pulled this one out, stuck it on flickr and was reccommended to try B&W. C&C welcome

Really glad you tried out my recommendation, it's brought it from a good shot to a fantastic shot in my eyes. I love the bright white of the horse's head and mane piercing the black background. I take it you played around with the curves or brightness and contrast a bit? Really well converted, great job.

Nice bit of horsin around with the image ,

Yeah I saw it on flickr and I have to agree with the B&W picture, its brilliant.

Did you have to wait long for the horse to start running etc to get the shot??

Borderfox

Thanks Sionnach. I didnt have long to wait for that, if you put him in a big field he has a good run around and a buckaroo in the air then calms down.

Borderfox

Thanks Brian, got my website up @ www.keithjackphotography.com not up that long still got to put a lot of stuff on it. How are you doing? did you do the course?, I got a 20D aswell as the 350D now.

Fajitas!

Great shot...I might suggest dodging him though, to make him really pop out?

Borderfox

I am usually trying to dodge him when hes like this! Still trying different settings

Nice to see your stuff out on it's own ,looks good.
I did the course ,was dissapointed I didn't do it sooner ,but the people and the tutor were cool so no harm done.

Good luck with the site ,hope you get loads of feedback with it.

Fantastic shot, the only other thing I would try would be centring him in the photo by cropping the left and a little bit of the top just to concentrate on him.

All the same, fantastic shot and a fantastic animal!
