I like horses, beautiful and intelligent creatures. I like your pictures Steve, all three create an excellent record of your brief visit to the paddock and the relationship between a mother and it's foal.

These are beautifully done, Steve! The first one made me laugh -- that big, beautiful mama-rump with the foal looking so alert and uncertain -- wonderful emotion there. But what really stands out to me is the perfect focus and the beautiful soft colors. Lovely!
