Lovely shot, Becky. I really like this one.

Congrats on your first post :lynnma and I hope we will see more in the future.

Pretty scene that's well exposed. I would try same varied crops on it. I think you might get a stronger pic if you cropped off the right part of the shot up to the tree on the right so that the tree was in the upper right corner.

nice scene :lust

This is a nice scene with the stream forming a nice element through it. Here is one way you could make a more interesting composition: have a stronger foreground, middleground, and background. Right now, your foreground is bland vegetation. As an example for a future photo of this same place, get closer to the mare and her foal (photo left), making them the foreground. Maybe have them look back at you (instead of head-down grazing). Frame them to take up a good part of the left third of the photo. Move around to have an interesting mid- and back-ground, which could be the other horses along the stream, going into the distance. You're lucky to have a place like this to photograph. I imagine the seasonal changes will give you many opportunities of changing colors, galloping horses, colt behavior, dust effects, snow scenes, etc.

welcome!

I'd ditto most of what John said - th horses don't do much for me with all their heads down. It's a pretty scene but without a single subject for my eye to rest on. And yea, that area looks like it's got lots of potential, it a photogenic place and it sounds like you can visit easily throughout the year, and at various times of day, maybe with a nice sunset behind 'em...

I will try again, as this is just in my "backyard". Thanks for your time
