what a fabulous image. strong framing, capable white balance, perfect exposure ... all work to present the viewer with a strong, professional image. the starkness of the landscape and the tones allows this sweet subject to stand out, and the textures of the windblown forelock , the dirty coat and tail, the melted snow around the pony's hooves, all lead the viewer's eye throughout the frame, inviting them to come back again and again to see more details. very nicely done. a truly beautiful image. congrats! ~ illona

Thank you so much for selecting my image! This was taken in May 2015 in Iceland. There was a large group of very friendly horses of every color that came right up to the fence to greet us, but this white horse stayed further back in the field in the lingering snow against the gray evening sky. Shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III and a 24-105 mm lens. Chellie Hyre, Virginia, USA.
