About the Image(s)
I was at Washoe Lake in Nevada last month to photograph the wild horses. They are such beautiful animals and a great subject to photograph. I just happened to take this picture of a few horses gathered by each other and when I got home and looked at this picture on the computer, I noticed that their mouths lined up in a unique way. I enlarged it, cropped tight, lightened it up a bit and took out a some flaws. I took this with a Nikon D850 with a 200-500mm lens.

Karen,
I like your crop which emphasized the juxtaposition of the heads, and especially the mouths, of these three horses. Very nice.   Posted: 08/08/2026 14:06:37

Great capture Karen. You could call this "A Huddle of Horses"
They almost look like they are discussing a football play!   Posted: 08/08/2026 14:40:49

I shot wild horses in Missouri several years ago and was disappointed in everything I brought home. I would love to have your shot in my archives. The depth of field is perfect and so is your crop. You couldn't ask for a better line up. The only thing I noticed from your original to the finished image was how much brighter the sun looked on their faces and manes. I played with several exposures for the blur tool and decided I liked 90% best. I think it improves an already outstanding image. What do you think?   Posted: 08/09/2026 18:27:42
I think you are absolutely right, thank you for the suggestion.

Karen, this is such a unique shot to begin with, and then the focus you put on it, made it even better. Lucky you to see the wild horses.   Posted: 08/16/2026 16:22:21
