    Morning Kiss

    I hope I don't become a bore with horse shots. I usually don't work much with B&W, but it seemed to work best here.
    TIA,
    Tim

    This is a fun picture Tim. I like your choice of black and white as it compliments the horse's monochromatic nature while downplaying the glare from the sunbeam.
    Glad you posted it, it gave me a smile.

    Thanks CLK,
    And, you are absolutely correct about going B&W to minimize the distraction of the lens flare.

    This is a great b&w. There is so much to explore in this shot. The kiss is really minimal to me. If the shot was recoposed to put more emphasis on the act, I would notice it more. The shots has story and good tone. Nice!

    I really like this. There is a lot going on, but nothing that distracts from the capture. Her enjoyment of the loving given her by the horse is so evident in her face. The only nitpick I have is that big of something that crept in at the bottom left, at her leg. I love how bright the horses eyes come out.

    Hi Man & D,

    Thanks for the comments. D, I did notice that on the leg. I felt, however, if I cropped it up some, the image was too tight when looking at the hooves.

    Cheers,
    Tim
