Photographers Comment
Thank you so much for this recognition! To be included with all these beautiful images is an honor. This picture came about during a visit to the Clark's Elioak Farm in Ellicot City, Maryland. My son and I were enjoying the animals when I saw a pair of horses huddled together. They were being harassed by flies and looked totally miserable. This one looked at me with almost comical resignation.
I did the basic conversion to black and white in Lightroom, then dodged, burned, and adjusted the levels in Photoshop. I cropped in to fill the frame to emphasis its beautiful musculature and that one, soulful eye.
For the technicals - Nikon 7100, 24-70mm 2/8f lens, 1/800 sec at f/13, 50mm zoomed in.
Thank you again!
