Roslyn Lunetta, 11 months ago

good job Horse Whisper, do you promise them sweet treats, do you drive a horse sweet trailer, the fact you get such clear photos, the feel from them to me shows they have accepted you, going to see if you have done a journal on your time with this “tribe” of beasts and if you have not well you should and if you have, thanks

VisionaryImagist, 11 months ago

Gene: a great photograph. you have captured the moment perfectly. well done.

KatsEye, 11 months ago

Are you the horse whisper? I agree with the previous comment. I would not have thought about it the way she did. They have accepted you. These are some awesome pictures. Some day I would like to do what you are doing. But I know my daughter will do it before me. She is at awe at what you are doing. Keep up the great work. Kathy

KatsEye, 11 months ago

I just need to add about the horse in the middle. This is just wonderful. I love everything about this picture. I feel that I am right there watching. One of these horses stepped out of their boundries.

stunning work!

Birgitta, 11 months ago

Did I see this at Soa?? (I can’t keep up wit it all..heh.)
It’s beyond amazing. Sometimes you hit that place in life..that one moment..
like a “crack in time” so to speak..and it allows you to barely capture something
so perfect…and then you know it’s gone. But you got the shot. ;)
This is it.

jotography, 10 months ago

Such a stunning moment! Forceful, elegant and beautiful at the same time….....

Dan Shalloe, 10 months ago

Just to see this is such a privilege – I’ve had horses for 12 years and have never been lucky enough to witness such a scene – and then to have the camera ready for a superb composition. Wow. I dream of one day taking a picture like this.

Pavlina, 10 months ago

Wow absolutely beautiful

Eyal Nahmias, 10 months ago

Well done. An excellent capture and great timing. The horse in the middle gives another wonderful balance and focus point to the comp. The blurred lighter BG helps to emphasize the stallions and the colors and details are great. Consider a slight crop at the bottom to remove some of the blurred bushes in the foreground or clone them out…
