New baby.......horse!!

[Barefoot and Natural]

Hi all,
My Aunt's horse just had a baby (3 weeks ago) and I finally got over there to take some pics!!

I took A LOT but I really like this one!! I want to get it Canvas Mounted but I need help getting that "extra pop" out of this photo!!

Any suggestions would really help!!

It was shot in "raw" (which I am totally getting that hang of :clap)

Once you retrieve the original...or decide you don't want it...let me know and I will delete it from my private gallery.

Hope you like it! :D

Great shot! Ric did a nice job of taking some of the distracting BG away and saturating the colors a bit! He a made a great capture even better!

Marina,
I have some other shots of the horses in the "people" forum simply because my children are in them....I might need to move it to this forum :D

Thanks for you comments!!

I love what Ric did with the photo. If you have the time and patience, you may also want to consider trying to clone out that camper entirely, and/or darkening that top left corner. Beautiful horses, by the way.

Aw...shucks.:rofl

I agree 100% about the horse trailer...but then again her aunt may be almost as proud of it as she is of the horses!

Adding pop is easy, you should check out the tutorial in our...tada! tutorials section, linked in the navbar, top of the page.

I think Ric did pretty well, but it's too cool.

I didn't crop, just followed the pop tutorial, and I got this:

:agree with Harry. I got so caught up in editing this one, I forgot to say so. I don't spend my time on something I don't like.:D

If you are gonna put on canvas you may as well clone out the trailer in the backgound :)
