As it says...this is the second time I have used this mare, Saphira, in a challenge. I rode her for a little while as a trail horse, but then she got sold. Then she got sold back. Then she was given away to a local horsewoman who is doing all kinds of natural horsemanship with her.

Anyway my good friend Judy sometimes looks after Saphira and her stablemate, so I went along one morning and got some shots of her.

This is a colour image, rendered in high-key.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes well to the open challenge

You’ve done her proud Susan, what a lovely portrait of a lovely horse. Your high key exposure has given her a sort of translucency that makes her radiate in a very pleasing way which also gives an essence of strength to her character. Whilst the high key effect has blown the background it helps make the horse stand out whilst your control of the whites in the horses fur is good there is detail throughout, well controlled. Focus, DOF and composition are all enhancing the end result in a very pleasing way.
