Judges Comment

This is such an immediately compelling image ... between the perfectly captured moment, to the black-and-white conversion which allow the foal and mare to stand out, both make for an immediately captivating image. The bold blacks and the clean whites create a perfect contrast, although I do find that the vignetting on the bottom right corner to be a little heavy. Wonderful crop as well, keeping the viewer's focus on the moment. Nicely done! ~ illona

Photographers Comment

Thank you very much, dear Ilona, for assigning a mark of excellence to my photograph. I am deeply honored and grateful for your valuable comment. I very rarely do any cropping to an image except to straighten it if I find it more appropriate, as in this case. This photograph was made in Portugal, in a field near the place where I live, with a Canon 5D MkII camera, and an EF lens 24-70mm L 2.8. Thank you so much. Domingos Monteiro
