Stallion warming

[david cramer]

This wild stallion posed nicely for me... as he warmed up in the morning sun. In the background you can see the Cottonwood Bosque along the Rio Grande. These guys almost always have a piece of grass hanging out of their mouths, even when in battle.

He looks like he just had his hair brushed. The colors in the BG are very nice. The Stallion is beautiful glowing in the suns warmth.

Hi David Might back down the exposure a bit Some neck areas are a little over !!! Normally I want to see the eye clearly but this works well for me particularly with his expression !!! I like it a lot !!!

Hi David,
I really like the BG colors (especially the splash of bosque Cottonwoods). I also like how the hair on his face and neck fall on different sides. The hair over the eyes gives it a "just woke up" feel.
