Thanks everyone for comments during the challenge. I knew of course that a portrait traditionally shows just the face, but shooting equids (ie horses, ponies, donkeys) is tricky as they have such long faces. Also taking into account that these beasties tend to 'talk' with their whole bodies, not just their faces, is why I chose to shoot as I did.

I think a little more texture in the dirt would add to the level of interest here.

Sure, I'll have some coffee with my chocolate cake. Caffeine doesn't affect me.
