Helpful Posts: This is my horse Corey. He's an old man now (21), but he still loves running around in the first snowfall of the season. We received about 12 inches yesterday.

Re: Love of the first snowfall
Exactly the same for me! The tail up in the air and the nice foreground texture in the snow just make the image complete.

Re: Love of the first snowfall
Great shots. It looks like the horses are walking out of the photo. Good processing of the photo's.

Re: Love of the first snowfall
Excellent Kim, really nice to see him having fun.
My only minor observation is that in the first, with Corey being closer to the fencing, it is sharper than ideal and it might be worth a quick swipe down those straight lines with a suitable radius blur brush, so they look more like they do in the second.
Just a thought, given their quality.
Cheers, Dave

Re: Love of the first snowfall
Love them both, but the first one best, he looks so happy.
In the second shot something about the look on his face makes me sad. He looks tired, like he wants to play but the look says This is not as easy as it used to be. Spirit willing body weak.... Great shots, beautiful horse

Re: Love of the first snowfall
A couple of excellent images, Kim. My you've come a long way.
That's an interesting looking fence. Is it plastic and electric wire?

Re: Love of the first snowfall
Kim.
These images gave me an idea. I am going to mount a shock cable along the top of my chain-link fence as a coyote deterrent.
I found insulated mounting brackets on amazon.com

Re: Love of the first snowfall
Thank you for your comments Richard. I got out of bed early, as the light is so petty out there in the morning, and I knew he was going to play.
I'm glad the image gave you that idea. Electric fence is easy to install (I did it via finding You Tube videos). This site has very good quality electric fence - it makes all the difference - http://www.rammfence.com/fence/electric-horse-fence/.

Re: Love of the first snowfall
Thank you Dean. I like the 1st for the power, and the second because of his face -- he has the largest, kindest eye.

That he is Paul -- he's in his glory when it snows. He loves to play in it, and eat it :-)
