Default Up On Cold Creek

Just about 1 hr north of Las Vegas is a small area called Cold Creek. I had the day off so took a quick run up there. I didn't see any wild horses on the way up, but caught these guys on the way down.

Simply love the treatment you did to these. They belong on greeting cards.

Mike ! WOW ... breathtaking first image, man I LOVE that shot. silky water, just the right speed.. love the tone of it and your jagged frayed edges are wonderful. Outstanding !

I like the lake shot, still water nice reflection, the textures of the trees is excellent, the clouds give it finish .. another great capture.

and great horse shots .. the third has a certain DoF blur I like and nice details on the horses,, they are really beautiful, I look and them and just think " free "

Love the pose in the last shot, very well framed and great quaility.

An Awesome set, fantastic first shot, thanks much for sharing them

Vin
