I gave you a 9 during voting and it was only because of the background which I found a bit oofy that I didn't give you a 10. Would love you to please explain the background to me.


Thanks a lot for your comment and good vote Fred. Yes the background; this photo is taken in spring when the snow is melting in the mountain which you see in the background, so there are still some snowdrifts laying down the hillside which make the background look as in stripes and maybe a bit oofy for those who are not used to have snowy mountains all around in wintertime. I hope this explains something about the background. Thanks again.

Congratulation on the Blue! Great shot and this shot could have so easily turned out not as dramatic and crisp as it is. Great photography! I love these horses and their playfulness, stunning photography.

Stunning work of art...just wondering about the background which looks a bit oofy and distracting.
