Hobbucks Horses by phil_howcroft

Hobbucks Horses

Some horses in the Hobbucks area of Arnold

Experimented with Pic Monkey for this shot. I was surprisingly pleased with what it has to offer for a free web photo editor.

A bit of Daguerrotype filter added, a frame and a signature !!!

Clever stuff - thanks to Judith and sharon for the tips - @sharonaddison @judithg

Marvelous capture, Phil! These horses look so peaceful and relaxed which they usually are NOT!

You have a signature Phil...I am impressed & it's not too big that it spoils the photo but you can read it !!! I have never tried that but might have a go !!! You don't often see horses lying down & I am wondering are there young foals here, some of them look quite small. Nice country photo with proper framing, I like it !

@marlboromaam thanks Maggie, the wife was worried about the horses lying down (we rarely see them like that), but the one on the right approached us and the others sat up :)

@happypat thanks Pat, you are right about the foals :) , they looked really cute :) I don;'t think I'll signature many of my pics, I was just experimenting with pic monkey :)

nice greens in this Phil and nice subtle editing! very flash with a signature as well!! Strange to see so many horses lying down, maybe they decided, like me, that it was time for a really lazy day!!

I haven't tried Pic Monkey, maybe I should...

You have captured a peaceful pastoral scene and the colours of the horses are nicely balanced.

They look happy enough. Nice to see you're having fun with the editing :)

Hurrah - nice job Phil! Glad you like it - it's fun and easy and they are still developing it so that's good.
