Beautiful colours and texture on his hairs Mary. A different but effective composition, drawing the eye towards the horse;s eye and the daffodils. Great work.

I feel like I am looking at a side profile of an old man. The grayness, the setting of the eye. The yellow daffodils, almost feel the way the eye and flower are set up a sense of his youth. Keep on wondering if he thinks the flower's are pretty.

Thanks Mark- There is something about the horses up the road that draws me to them! See what you mean about this image. Bit sad. But always gets me laughing when he starts on my hair! So funny one daff in the whole field- be good to think he likes them.

I like the crop, Mary, and you've got a great perspective here with the tilted horizon! You must have a great shampoo for him to want your hair so much!

I've been told (by SQirl) that Daffodils are extremely poisonous. To Males, anyways. :) I guess horses aren't so dumb.

Bless him.....there he is appreciating the beauty of flowers in his realm, stepping delicately around them, perhaps a quick sniff when there's no-one around only to be branded a scardie-cat:):)
Seriously Mary, you have captured some excellent details in this horse's face. I love the angle of your shot putting a tilt on the background. I love the fringe on his head, not unlike my own, and I love too the bold crop which has increased the composition's impact for me. Well done to you my dear. My very best wishes to you as always.....Ray

Thanks Ray- and you are on "scardie-cat's" side! He'll be pleased when I tell him! You do realise everytime I look at his fringe now, I'll imagine you look like that! They are great fun to snap those horses- can't resist it as they make me laugh. Now I just have to try and get them to pose a bit differently!

"Thanks Terry- that explains why the daffs are still there!"
And why the Horse is still there. Maybe you should change the Title (or his name) to "Dances With Daffodils". But then you'd have to make sure he's gelded. Otherwise all the other Horses would laugh at him.
