Just ignore him!
22 September 2005 (6)

Fovant, Salisbury, UK

Went out for a walk (wanting not to take a food macro shot, today... -- thinking maybe I'd do a landscape piccy, instead...):
trying to make the most of a peaceful, warm, country village evening; and bumped into these two, having a natter as the sun went down....

"Pretend we haven't seen him."
"But he might have some mints on him."
"Don't mention food! Talk about something else, instead...."
"Well, erm, look: that fence needs mending."
"I know... -- but what can you do...?"


Actually, the brown (should that be "chestnut"?) one turned out to be a bit of a 'poseur'...
-- and they were soon both very obliging...!

Wonderful image - great warm backlighting and composition. The dialogue was pretty good too. :-)

Thanks, everyone...!

It was torture getting the light just as I wanted it (and these two were ever so patient...!); and, even then, I wasn't sure that it actually worked as an image (...too warm; not enough contrast; too much flare (and not enough flair...!); not enough detail or highlighting on the darker horse, etc.) -- ...so thank you for you for your kind words of approbation: I feel a whole lot more confident, now!
