Out Horsing Around Today!
Still some color left here in Vermont. I know this isn't wildlife, but he sure looked pretty standing there! A lot of high winds today. This was taken in Reading, VT

Nikon D3, 24-70AFS @ 70mm, 1/60s @ f8, ISO 800, tripod

Richard, this is gorgeous! Composed to perfection and you even have the horse looking back into the frame. And of course, that New England autumn color is superb. Nice!

Rich, Haven't you heard of the Wild Horses of Vermont! :biggrin: As Jim said really good composition and good fall colors.

Fantastic Rich! I was at that spot a couple of weeks back but the horses didn't want to play.

Thanks! I actually got a whole series of shots of this horse. He was walking towards me through that tunnel of color behind him, until he hit the spot in this photo. He surveyed his territory for a bit, then turned around and walked back the way he came! I couldn't have asked for more!
