Stallion Battle

[david cramer]

BlackJack lets Sundance know he is not welcome in the boy's club. BlackJack is the more aggressive stallion in a band of stallions. Sundance, who has his own band of mares, stopped by for a visit with the boys. What started out as play, got a little rougher when Sundance didn't leave.

Sunlight was getting strong, but so was the action.

D300 with 80-400mm at 210mm, f/5.3, 1/800, iso 200, ev -0.67

I can see why you stuck around. I would have too. I love the dust. It screams action. the eye and the hooves on the black one are very dramatic. You can even see the teeth barred in the mouth of him. Nice bonus. One small note. The brown ones head is somewhat hidden here, but still a keeper, by far.

Love the action and the dust on the bottom. Like how you can see the horses eye on the left.

Fantastic action shot. I can feel the power and love the dust at the bottom. Really nice composition.

[Robert Amoruso]

I echo the other's comments. Well done capturing the action.

Thanks for all your comments. I now have a more images from this encounter up on my blog.

Nice image David. With the flying manes, tails, hooves, and dust, this one just screams action. And the BG gives it that wild west feel.
