Horse Photo Competition 5 2015 : Entry Number 54

this image is made even more dramatic by its strong black-and-white conversion. even with the dark tones, the textures in this image keep our eye moving to see new things all the time ... the horse's dirty coat, the windblown mane, the rough stones, the strewn straw, the wispy clouds, and even the top rail of the fence. the horse's flipped right ear lead us back into the frame, while the lines of the landscape and the clouds lead us to the horse. nicely done. ~ illona

Thanks for this distinction among great photographs. This photo was taken in Terceira Island, Azores and it's about a horse that spends the day alone on this field. He was attracted by my car, and came to take a look. I took this photograph with a Leica X. Thanks a lot for this excellence mark.
