New Neighbors

Actually, probably just visiting.  Our neighbors tend to have stock that belongs to their children over now and then in the summer.  This mare and her colt are the latest tenants.  I'm still trying to get an action shot of the youngster, but haven't managed it yet.

7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 252 mm, handheld,  f/6.3, 1/125, iso 800, aperture priority, pattern metering.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Cropped to 16.7 MP before resizing for the web.  Taken July 1st at 5:42 AM.

Comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Delightful!  Great poses.
I hope you can catch the foal frolicking in the pasture - wonderful to watch.

Great shot.  Nice detail, color, and composition.  The large version really shows this well.  Perhaps a tighter crop would make this an even more intimate portrait.  Bet the neighbors would love a copy.sad
