The Race is On

By Lillian  
Against the most dramatic background we had!
and more importantly it did not rain, these are just four of the stallions of over twenty at a time that 'ran'
in the water, but I chose to single out these ones for the angle here...very close to us in the sea here

They start off white...and after several runs in the water are very dirty!

Thank you all for commenting so pleased you enjoyed the stallions playing and thanks
to Lynne, John, ****, Steve, Brian, Trev, Mike, Danny and Bob for your User Awards

Am slowly catching up...with a really difficult back, so limited on here.

What a delight to see these Camargue stallions galloping around with such gay abandon in this natural setting for them, Lillian.
And what a superb shot, the action completely frozen at 1/800 but surprised you had too up the ISO so much to achieve that shutter speed, but as ever, your Canon has coped admirably.

Hi Lillian

I left a comment before, however, it seems to have mysteriously disappeared! Tongue

After seeing yesterday's image, I didn't think you could come up with a better one. What did you do? Come out with a better one! Wink

This is just amazing! You are one extremely good and talented photographer, Lillian!

I find it strange that your images don't receive E's or HC's. IMHO, a number of them deserve to!!!

Enjoy what's left of Easter, and get well soon!!!

Take care!


Cheers

Hi Lillian this is an awesome wild life photograph. But I have problems understanding how a photograph like this gets 25 UAs and is only awarded a GEA. This is not a digital manipulated plastic lady bird or a wolf in captivity entered in the wild life section of EPZ, I see things like that get GEAs with some of the other rubbish and Crap. My question is, what chance does any genuine photograph have of getting an Editors award when I think the members have spoken in no uncertain terms. Must we give up photography and start manipulating silly images of rubbish to be able to get a higher award than a UA or is the criteria for the award system also being manipulated like the so called photographs. I am a little disappointed in the whole system Lillian and am thinking of throwing my Camera in the bin and purchasing a new computer and a copy oy Photo Shop so I can give EPZ some quality manipulated work and achieve at least a GEA, as I see no point in taking real photographs????

Hi Lillian. I totally love your pictures of the Camargue horses but maybe this one the best - HMmmmm. Maybe.
I love horses and we just had a fantastic week in the Camargue.

We only went bird watching and did not see any horses or bulls although December is probably not the best time but what a fantastic place - even in winter.

Your portfolio is lovely. You are very talented.
