    David, One of my favorites I've seen you post here. The pregnant Mare with her foot up is a great capture alone but with the interaction of the both-just beautiful. Now top it off with nice lighting /moody sky -Just Terrific!!

    David,

    I think this is one of your best, or possibly best yet. I love this. The look and color of the horses goes so well with the clean BG. Just enough base on the ground to support the image w/o taking over. The head over the back puts it over the top for me. Plus a raised leg. Just wonderful.

    David,
    I love this one. The background imparts the mood into the image. The colours of the two fellows are lovely. Nice interaction. I have seen most of your lovely stallion images posted here and I sure that this is the best that I have seen. This needs to be printed big and hanged on the wall. A big congrats!

    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi

    A lovely, lovely image. The light, the mood, and the head on the back are all killer. In a perfect world, the stallion would have had its head turned a bit more toward you.

    Beautiful light, color, pose, and mood. I like the way the tails and the belly vein seem to tie them together.
