This is one of the three ponies at the farm where I work. I converted to B&W and added two of my own textures, two textures from Shadowhouse, and my usual slew of adjustment layers to age the photo.

This was a good shot to begin with, and it got better with processing. The eyes, the nostrils, the ears, the turn of the head all suggest that something's going to happen. It's not a static image. The composition and look are very nice.

Lovely, Christopher. The pony is beautiful and your processing is perfect for him. :S3:

Great looking pony, Christopher, nicely composed image, BW coversion works well for image. Excellent texture and aging processing as usual. I can't help think of the song from the old TV series and the line "Hello, I'm Mr. Ed" when I look at this. :bg3:

You really captured the character of this pony and then subtly emphasized it with your added textures that are lighter around the face and fade to darker at the edges. Perfectly executed!
