Civil War Horse

[Christopher Miller]

Took this back in 2007 at a local Civil War reenactment. I liked the pose this horse gave me, but unfortunately the photo ended up horribly underexposed. Took some major post-processing to fix it up. Any C&C are welcome!

Olympus SP-550 UZ
f5.6 @ 1/320, ISO 100, -0.3 EV
Program mode, pattern metering, auto WB, natural light
Processed in PS CS2; curves adjustment to lighten it, noise reduction, sharpening, cloned out a rope in the BG, and replaced the sky

Here is the original for comparison.
