Oh yeah.....an inquisitive horse.

I like unusual shots and angles. Quirky is good since I believe that it makes a picture enjoyable. Technical elements are secondary if the shot captures my imagination.

My technique for this photo was quite simple. Stick a camera in a horse's face, hum a merry tune and hope it doesn't head butt you while you take it's picture.

I love the colors and white out (snowed out in this case) background. The muzzle is not focused enough; maybe it's motion blur, but it needs to be tack on for this photo to work.

Needs more focus. Like the colour and simplicity. Suggestion: crop off the top just below the cheek.
