Got Hay??

On Golden Pony. The Gilded Gelding! Striking warm tones. Usually yellow makes things look gummy (in my hands anyway!)- but you've got a very sharp picture here nonetheless. Great, especially considering it's at 2.8 - and that depth of field makes for a nice immediate drop off to blur behind the horse. Enjoyed.

Nice panning! Love the motion blur on the trees and the two other cars. I do like this as is, but since I'm a processing junkie, I might also try a black layer or a vignette layer (blended with overlay, linear dodge, something funky) - just to make it look meaner and subdue the sunlight. Anyway, sorry your pic got dinged by the dingbats ;-)

I like the crop alot. Enjoy the texture too - that and the vivid peach and touches of cyan make this more of a stylized interpretation than a clinical assessment - which is plenty fine by me! This picture would look grand hanging in a green room. Favorite part of all is those eyelashes!

When they announced the challenge, I'd hoped for a few horsepower shots :) I really like the textures here - it's an interesting twist on the usual gleamy chromey stuff. I like your title too - reminds me of my grandfather. He'd say, "Ya wanna hear a dirty joke? Yeah? 40 white horses ran through the mud!" Well, he'd only gotten it half right but he'd laugh like hell anyway ;-) Congrats on getting the Tan! (very close to brown) Badge of honor in these parts.

The horse is fantastic - the motion - the mane - it's only a pity that the rider doesn't look more engaged. Your bw tones are excellent.

This is great - I only wish the masking by the ear didn't pull me out of this funky dream!

Wow! Great shot and nice score! Don and I saw a fire escape with a door and a shadow and we thought it was a very melethia shot :) Unfortunately, nothing I could do to the photo would make it look like one of yours in the end. You really oughta write a tutorial or something. 'On Melethiality'
