The low angle and curiosity of these two ponies adds to the wonder of this image with its wonderful landscape and skies. Beautifully seen and photographed. ~ illona

Canon 5D MK IV 16MM / F8 / 100S I captured this moment a few months ago while on the road in Iceland. After some previous interactions, I had noticed that these horses were generally quite curious so I went close and low, sitting partially hidden in the long grass and waiting for their curiosity to get the better of them. I composed the shot to include some of the grass that was blowing in the strong wind as I felt it would work well with the direction of the cloud pattern to add contextual framing.
