Horse

Taken at Lake Willard a couple of weeks ago, I like the effect the Wide-Angle lens had on this shot!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

lol, the head of the horse looks bigger than normal ones.
That's why the wide angle lens makes things humorous :)

Beautiful! I like it too, although the horse somehow seems a lot shorter than it probably should, which makes for a rather neat effect.

wide angle does work great here. I like the wet fur texture on the horses - it helps set a tone for the day of this photo.
I don't have too much criticism to offer on this shot as it is well done although I might suggest you use the Announcement feature to request comments. Announcements can be used to place message under all your photos (without having to type it each day). You can add an announcement in your Account page under Profile.

I really like the effect here Dave, I've only used my wide angle lens for straight forward scenery shot's, this has definatly inspired me to go out and try using it in a more creative way, thank you.

Looks really small for a horse! A miniature I assume ;0) Well done. I too like the wide angle. Gives a humorous feel to it. Smiles are always good.

@Tracey: Not quite a miniature, but not the biggest beast! Thanks for your comment!

It made the horse look as thin as the fence... arresting photo.

Wow the perspective makes the horse in the background seem almost miniature compared to the horse in the foreground.

the horse looks like a pony now, short and stout! love the wet fur, gives the feeling that it's wet and the mist gives the feeling of cold. creative shot!
