thank you wulf for your observations.....it was hard for me to find that middle ground...i guess what i was really asking for was how you increase your depth of field while maintaining a a good fill flash...i moved this way and that, trying all the while to maintain a good distance so i wouldn't "blow out" the lightness of the horse.....i reckon i just want that magic bullet, ya know....

as far as composition, i have over three hundred shots to choose from.....but, that darned depth of field excluded so many...

thank you again....i knew i had made a number of mistakes...it just takes another's eye to discover them.....
