Gower Foal
Hi everyone. This image of a Wild Gower Foal was shot yesterday at 7am, near Swansea Airport. It's parents were close by, and kept an eye on me, until they realised I posed no threat to them, and their offspring. I tried to keep as low in the grass as possible, so as not to disturb them. All C&C's most welcome please. Many thanks,
Paul. :wavey:

Really pops, well isolated from the surroundings and with just the right amount of foreground mush to give some depth.

I get the feeling that I may look like this when crawling out of a bag hide after 3 or 4 hours :biggrin:

Really nice shot.

For such a slow shutter speed this is really sharp and the image pops quite nicely too as Robert says....
