Autumn Beauty

by Debra Sears
(Potsdam, NY, USA)

My husband was walking around the perimeter of our pasture with our dog when Clifford, our Standardbred gelding, posed himself beautifully. He even stood still long enough for my husband to go into the pasture and take the shot!

Autumn is my favorite season, and I think those vibrant trees make a beautiful backdrop.

A beauty indeed
by: Carol

What a handsome fella Clifford is Debra. And a real poser.

Your husband took a great shot here and did the right thing in getting closer before he pressed the shutter. He judged it just right as any closer and the slight wide angle of the camera lens would have made the horses head appear out of proportion to the rest of his body.

The glorious colours in those trees really help his coat to stand out. Try picturing this picture with bare winter trees behind him, his head would have been lost amongst them.

If this was my photograph I may have decided to crop it to an upright format to eliminate some of the grass in the foreground. I have taken the liberty of cropping your picture to give you an idea of how I would do it. Obviously this would look better with the full size file to work with.

What do you think?
