I think a beautiful horse in a photo of a green country landscape makes any place photogenic :) I think its beautiful! I love this photo.

How pretty. I can almost crawl through the grass and pet the horse. Wow - I really like it.

I like this shot because it really shows where you live and that is interesting, great little poney in the shot as well.

Kenny, we love all photos. I am enjoying this collection much more because we can get practice (and practice improves us), we're not being judged by others standards, and we are being given kind comments that help.
I think what works really well in this shot is that you have the thirds going on: the horse is in one third, the tree is in the middle third, and the shed is in the last third. From others I've learned that this is a good technique to use.
Keep the photos coming, and don't worry about what others think ... art is personal.

Kenny, this is a side challeng of where you live, and that is what you are showing us. This is the first time i have entered anything, just because it was a side challenge. This is really a great shot of where you live and you did it very well. Don't worry about what others think. If you like, then it is good, Period!

The green looks great! The horse is great...looks like he's deciding what move to make next. :)

I think it is a pretty honest looking scene. The camera got what was there, an I shoot a lot of the same kind of things. The natural world outside the big cities actually is rather cluttered with nice plant life in most locations.

Thank you very much for your comments.

When posting on DPC, I usually will says "excuse this" or "excuse that" if I think that is what DPCers will notice most of.

For example:

On this shot I said "not the most photogenic area" because I felt many here would jump on the Chaos of the scene and not the HDR picture as a whole.

Thanks again...I really like the shot too!

It makes me a bit sad how this site is so focused on overly simple shit. And let's be honest, that's what it is, simple, one second shit. If I'm ever going to put something up on my wall, it's going to be something like this, something to look at, not the typical DPC single-subject, single idea, two-complimentary-colour crap I've seen too much of.

Please excuse my tangent, but I had to say it. Love the shot. Favourite of your hdr group.

Cheers

Yes...the horsie is oversated IMO also. I paid the price of trying to bring out the trees and dead branches and "painted" the horse in the process.

I'm still learning though.

Thanks

I have heard about this technique ... I don't have Photomatix so cannot play with it.

To me this shot looks half way between a normal shot and an HDR image (as some have said this technique produces)

It might just be me but the horse looks well over-saturated.

Having said that, I think the trees here have a certain 3D effect that could not be produced without tone mapping. Interesting stuff. I look forward to more of your experimentation.

If you get it much better than this, I might have to go out and buy Photomatix so please don't get too terribly good at it! LOL
