Horse Photo Competition 2 2016 : Entry Number 68

Judges Comment

The white-on-white minimalism of this image is fabulous ... the tangled and knotted mane, the scars on the horse's hide, the half closed eye and the turned-back ear, all the different textures and language make this a truly rich image. Nicely done! ~ illona

Photographers Comment

Thank you for the mark of excellence! This picture was taken a few weeks ago during one of my travel trips and captures a wild stallion in Europe. I felt inspired by his strength but also calmness. I'm planing on visiting several wild horse populations all around the globe in the following years to complete this project. It means the world to me to show the very core of their existence to people, who may not even know they exist. We can learn a lot from just observing them. You can see more photos of this series on my website, if you're interested. Carina Maiwald
