    Is that photo edited borderfox? You have an amazing eye for a shot, truely talented! All your photos that I've seen so far truely capture the majesty and power of horses. Always so sharp and vivid.

    If it's not an edited photo how did you take the shot etc? It appears to me that you've upped the light balance to make the bright highlights contrast more against the chestnut but then again it has an almost painted effect. but I think I'm probably missing out on alot more. I did a small photography course before but I was never very good at it. Always got too focused on tiny details to think too much about the greater effect of the picture and composition, but I've never lost interest in it. :)

    For that shot I used a plugin called Topaz in Photoshop, I use it mainly to enhance contrast in landscapes but seems to work well for the horses too.

    Some (rather awful) photos my Father took of me on Donabate beach this morning. It was cold and very wet and windy but we still had fun!

    Great pics Alibear! Looks like you had fun!

    Is the grackle not a little forward on him? It seems a little close to his eye.
