WOW, didnt expect this to do that well, almost withdrew it! Got a lot on a the moment so havent taken many pictures, this was from the only day i managed to take any shots in august. The horse are farmed on the Gower, they roam free... but they are not breed for riding :(

This fella was having a good munch on the bracken, I waited about 10mins for the perfect shot as I loved the lighting, but he just didnt stop eating!

Used the 'ansel adams' photoshop BW convertion plugin, then converter to grayscale and used duotones.

cute little guy, but the natural lighting wasn't working, not enough contrastness for me, and I see on his haunches that if it was bumped up it would blow that out. Difficult image.

the horse does seem lost, and not just lost, but coming apart... losing itself to the flora it is immersed in. I think this effect is created by having the cutoff right at the torso and having its nose immersed. You are right on the edge: is it a picture of a horse, or a field? I love the edge. Also, a beautiful raking light on the horse. 9

That's a nice angled light playing on the horse - good timing. I like your choice of duotone? It enhances the image.

Great choice for a black & white and good use of shadows to bring out depth.
The subtle details in the shadows work well here.

It loos famished and the tone adds a cool (as opposed to warm) deathly tone to it. That horse doesn't look healthy. Is that why he's 'Lost'?

I think I would prefer less space above the horse and more contrast so that we can see the left side of the head more easily. Lovely though.
