Horse Blur

[denise ippolito]

After just having lunch at this amazing place in the Galapagos-we were all hanging out relaxing. It was an open air kind of place with floor to ceiling windows which were open with no screens. I saw a horse run by and thought that would make a nice blur-so I got my camera and took a few shots. One of the other members of the group was outside on the ground but the grasses covered most of the horse so he didn't get a great angle. Since the restaurant was slightly elevated off the ground I was in good position to get a clear shot. I made several but liked this one best. No more details in the head-sorry.
I think Artie was fast asleep in a hammock.:pI have a blur shot of that too.

Denise, I love the blur and was surprised it was taken in the Galapagos - it looks like a Connemara pony romping in Ireland:)

Very nice blur, Denise. Excellent sense of motion here. I love the bg with that patch of brown. I wish the front legs were not behind the grass; probably not possible in this frame from where you were. The blazing tail is a nice highlight.

Denise, nice capture of an equine romp! Good thinking to go for a blur here; I really like the effect. I think the forelegs in the grass is ok, as it imparts even more sense of motion.

Lovely Denise and I think that the hidden forelegs are fine too. Love the BG and that tail takes it over the top for me :)

Just the right amount of blur. The effect on the grass and horse is very nice.

Thanks folks, I appreciate the kind comments.
Indranil, I was as high up as I could get. I do have others that I liked from the day so I 'll try to post another one. Thanks.
