Blowing In The Wind
Another Wild young Foal, with it's Mane blowing in the wind, taken on the lovely Gower Peninsula, South Wales. I took this lying low in the grass, so as not to spook the Foal, and not to alarm it's nearby parents. All C&C's welcome. Many thanks,
Paul :wavey:

A bit off the bottom to put more emphasis on the superb pony, would be my preference. An excellent image anyway, well worth crawling in the damp(?) grass. :smile:

Hi Paul,

I totally agree with Davids critique. There is just a little too much OOF foreground which detracts from the strong subject IMHO.

Cheers

Austin

Hi Paul,

I agree a little cropping would enhance the image.

A very nice subject with a good background but I too would crop some off the bottom with maybe a bit off the RHS as well to take the pony a little more off centre :smile:

Lovely tones in the image, I'd agree with the slight cropping suggestions for web presentation although I'd think it would be great printed as is. :toast:
