The Waiting Horses by salza

The Waiting Horses

The horses are all quite happy to stand in the shade of the tree whilst the group has a sun-downer.

@loweygrace would you mind rehitting the fav button as your fav hasn't registered, thanks

Sally this is so great. Are the horses not tied? They don't wander off for grass or get spooked?
February 23rd, 2014  
lovely capture

@teiko Emilie, the horse on the extreme left is loose but the rest are tethered. If you view large and look closely you will see the ropes. there is baling twine hanging from the branches that their lead ropes are attached to. even still they always stand relaxed like this and very seldom does one spook. Poncho was only loose because he had been tethered in the sun and getting hot so he was let loose but he won't go to far from Pedro who he is standing next to.

Ah right I didn't see the picket tether, should have looked more closely :) I love the shot, what fun to have so many friends to ride with and such amazing country to ride in.

Instant fav! Wonderful composition and light. Love the tail of the horse on the left. Poncho?
February 24th, 2014  
Sally AWESOME light, that Golden red light is fantastic. I love the composition, but I would recommend straightening this just a bit. It runs downhill to the right, and gives me some vertigo again. I know, I am picky about that stuff, but you know... whatever.

I like how you haven't overexposed the shot, and I can still peek through the space between the horses and see the farmlands in the background. That is very neat.

Unfortunately, I think if you do any rotation, it might lose some of the horses.

I wish I could be there. Excellent capture

@adambralston the horses are standing on a slope. I found if I leveled them the whole shot went out of kilter and the tree looked odd
February 25th, 2014  
What beautiful lighting and animals
February 25th, 2014  
@salza Well, I wondered about that. The tree looks like it's kind of on a slant too though?

I just love this photo. That light is just great!
February 25th, 2014
