Once more into the breach with an image that might not be understood by most voters. Horses adore "sand baths", rolling in dirt. The pastel effect was achieved in camera by setting a custom white balance, and being very careful about the histogram, way off of the peaks at both ends. A horse might do this once a day, at most, and almost never when you've got a camera ready AND the background AND the light AND you're in the right spot to create something beautiful. Movement and stillness in the same instant is always what I'm hoping to capture. Rotated 1 degree clockwise, contrast and saturation bumped, USM.
