    Ken- I really like this. Nice detail, light and pose. It seems like there may be a very slight blue cast in the whites by the mouth.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Ken
    never got them that relaxed,nice sighting and capture.I would crop a bit from LHS to get rid of the sharp grass blades.The mid tones appear a bit too dark here on my screen and i see a slight magenta ? cast in the fur ,darks and the grass in the BG.Not major,but a thought.

    Thanks Andreas

    Hi Ken, your comp works well, and I like the pose with the slight head turn and open mouth.

    Thanks everybody.

    I can see no cast, must be my monitor.

    In my experience Roan are generally quite dark.
