    I love the interaction between these two....also the slightly OOF environment in the BG is a real bonus and the dust really adds to this photograph. A photograph with a lot of tention....lovely light and excellent exposure. Great one!

    A very powerful image Robert. I love the backdrop of the mountains. The head angles here are perfectly turned towards the viewer. Excellent image. Yet I wonder if some physical contact or the two mustangs closer to each other would make this even more impressive.

    Exceptional image. Good head turns on both horses. They frame the herd and dust int he BG well and well balanced BG all combine for one great image.

    Nice one. The one on the right seems to have his body polished and ready for the show. I like the action and the head turn is nice. It seems they have turned their head to pose for you. I had missed the herd on first glance. I see you shooting at 1/2500. Do you find 1/1000 shutter speed slow for them?


    I am a big fan of your wild stallions. For some time I have been thinking of shooting feral horses in India, your images are pushing me to finaly shoot them.

    This captures some awesome emotional appeal and great action of the old west, the open range and the wilds of nature, all in one fantastic composition. Well done on all accounts.

    This image has an eventual outcome that creates the tension that holds me...it has me waiting / anticipating for that next moment...

    Well Done !

    The raised pawing action of both horses, dust kicked up in the air, the shiny coat of the right horse and the left horses bowed head pose are striking! Frame this one and hang it.
