How sweet with this horse with the "tear" running down its face. It looks so calm and cute, and it´s funny to see a horse so close:-)It seems like you have many horses close to your home, Mary. They truly are beautiful animals.
Take care,
Annemette

Beautiful shot, though also sadness.... the tear adds impact here. Excellent clarity in this close up... though no glint in this eye leaves me feeling sorrow.
Got a horse closeup myself a few weeks ago, have not posted it but did think of you when I got it... think the horse was showing an interest in photography... lol
Anyway... attached it for you.

Thanks Sue. Glad you liked this new horse. He does look a bit sad. The heatwave must not agree with him! He will be sold by the owner soon no doubt so I was very lucky to catch him. Now thanks so much for your horse- that has got what I like- that element of wildness. Great eye and hair. (Hope you wouldn't mind if I print it. It is beautiful- thank you.)

The details and colors are the most wonderful parts of this image Mary. Somehow I feel the black tears add macabre feeling to it, not totally bad as it adds interest to it. I can see this image as movie poster on some evil forces involving a horse. Oh, I think I've streech my imagination to much. Cheers Luis

This is a wonderful close up of 'Red' the details are awesome my sweet Mary and although the tear evokes a poignant feeling, all horses tend to 'cry' in certain conditions. The colour tones too are most beautiful and as for those looooooong eyelashes....eat your hearts out girls. All these fabulous features enriched with a wonderful bold crop. Well done to you sweetie. BTW.......what's with calling this noble beast's face a mush Mush???? What kind of talk is that from sweet little Mary??:):):) My very best wishes to you as always.....Ray

Thanks Ray. I am well pleased I got this at all! Shoving a camera on his mush....apologies... his beautiful face I mean of course! It is good to know that he wasn't crying. I don't know much about horses- which is of course what fascinates me! And I don't have to clean them- that might put me off! You are right about his eyelashes- maybe I could cut them off and have them as false lashes for myself!!

Good close up Mary, maybe he cried because he cannot come home with you. You know they feel it when you're a good person. This one full of detail and the horses colour is beautiful. Looking at this picture I get the idea that the horse is a very calm and friendly horse, hope I am right.
Wish you a very nice weekend, take care,
Klaas

Love the crop and the tear sure adds a sense of emotion! I am glad you didn't paint the tear out but A little addage of catch light painted in would help the bring out the dimensions of his eye. I Always love your horse shots!!

I like going back to the same places too, think it forces you to be more creative and try new things. Your clarity on this is amazing, I can see his brown eye. You almost make an abstract, but grounded in reality. Your sharpness came out awesome on this, What caught me off guard was the wrinkles around the eye, never thought of a horse as being able to have wrinkles.

Thanks so much Sam for looking and writing. I am no photographer and just enjoy this new hobby of playing with images! Taking proper photos is harder! It is looking at ones like yours, that I couldn't do, that I really enjoy.

Hi Mary! I´d so much like to hug/pet this "crying" horse. Touching stuff - very well composed/cropped!

Thanks Elisa- had to stick the camera on his nose, so I was very lucky he did not move for a second there!

Hi Mary - great shot, I like the perspective and detail. I had the opportunity to take photos of the wild horses of Namibia and took some very similar ones - will upload in time - specially for you!

Thanks Joggie. I love the horses for their spark of life. They are just a bit hard to catch and keep still!

Oh that's a long time back.. while I was in elementary school.. I think I was in 7th standard.. I guess I have lost all those.. I am a very careless person.. I have lost so many things, you see :)
