Horse Photo Competition 2 2016 : Entry Number 114

This image offers an intimacy for the viewer because of the angle chosen by the photographer, bringing the viewer into the sweet moment captured between mare and foal. Lovely white balance and color control. Nicely done! ~ illona

Thank you so much for this Mark of Excellence! My name is Peggy and I'm from Neubrandenburg, Germany. Two month ago I had an appointment with a client. The foal was one day old at this time and I really love to watch foals in their first hours, days and weeks. I was sitting on the brink of the paddock and this moment was just awesome. I didn't have to move aside for this lovely shot. They kissed each other directly in front of me. The picture was taken with a Nikon D800 and has been processed in Photoshop and Lightroom.
