    Fabs the horses really pop because of the pale colors of the sky and forground, very nice! The action is terrific! I am sure looking forward to my trip with Dale.

    Exceptional interaction! I love it, as Nancy said about the FG and BG contrasting with the horses' fur is very strong and makes the image more powerful.
    The image evokes a feeling of wild AND free. Nothing comes close. :)

    i have been trying to get an image of zebras for ages like this... so I love this ..

    the subtle BG colours and the colours of the veld/grasses really create a lovely mood to image.
    its a pity that the darker horse did not play along ...

    Fabs,
    I like the action here. The horses stand out against the background colours. Look forward to more.

    Cheers,

    Super action Fabs. Also like the dust coming off the hoof on the dark horses back.

    I love the interaction. The exposure looks great as I see good details in the darks and the sky still as a nice soft feel. The bit of dust coming off the brown horses' hoof make this image special. Thanks for sharing.

    I like the wild look in the eye of the reddish one along with the tousled mane. I also like the dirt clods and dust coming off the hoof as it hits the black one.

    Hi Fabs,

    Love the shot! The color rendering on the horses is fantastic and you got the action just right. The only thing I would do would be to darken the out-of-focus foreground just a little bit to avoid it popping up so much.

    I like the action and the light. I like the pale background as well. Really makes the horses stand out.
