Not the shot I intended to submit, but I liked it best of four days shooting, so here it is. Poor horse was so bothered by the flies his tale never stopped moving.

Rob, I liked this one in the chllenge as it's bold and rich. I like the perspective and rather than another barn/field/cows composition, you have a horse that's lovely against the rich grass and sky. Nice job!
nice POV, very good color, good sharpness, well composed - would even have been better to include the whole tail. the OOF blotch at lower right distracts, though
