I found this horse in a field nr my village this morning while I was out taking pic's in the snow. He looked rather lonely and forlorn but came over to the fence for a stroke and a kind word or two Smile

Thanks as always for your time, your thoughts/comments are very welcome.
Regards - Sarah x

It’s a brave lady who goes out in this weather to do some photography!! With all the snow and ice I decided to work from home today - but not getting much work done I must say!! Excellent view that describes the weather conditions experienced down here in Kent today superbly.

Lovely shot, such detail and the image tells a story here. poor horse outin the cold, it looks so sad. I wish we had snow here in Argyll I'd love to have the opportunity to get out in to the hills and get a shot half as good as this one!

Good work. Did you have to selectively desaturate or is that how the background was?

A super capture Sarah. You have certainly mastered the art of HDR and how to use it to its best effect.
Love all the detail in the textures and the pony is so well posed too. Many congratulations on your well deserved HC.
