Some of these are shopped. The others are good, though.

it looks to me more like the horse isn’t doing what it’s being asked. maybe the rider isn’t asking right, but the horse’s head should be tucked under a bit more to minimize the pull from the reins. i think the horse was just having a bad day. or maybe just a bad moment.

Awesome site – beautifully taken pictures! The horse one is a perfect shot full of emotion!

Philippa said,

The photographer of the horse picture is Tim Flach, if anyone’s wondering. :)

Is there a filter that stops the 8 year olds from saying “It wuz ’shopped’”?

Getting soooo sick of that.

What magnificent pictures! I love animals and you have a way of catching the emotion and essence of the animal. How do you do this?

I’m not surprised that’s a Tim Flach shot with the horse; he does some really interesting work that tends to be pretty unique. It’s a typical type of shot for him.

But I feel sorry for the horse…obviously he’s been working and is continuing to be. At least he’s only got a D-ring in, I always hate to see a bit pulled like that, but a snaffle isn’t as bad as it could be.

My guess…maybe a horse being pulled up from a gallop? It would explain the tight reins, head position, tension in the neck, and his mane going straight back. He’s throwing his weight back in an attempt to slow down quickly, like the rider is asking him to do (presumably, with the bit like that).

I loved all of the photos…they could all win a prize for best pic, I think.

Meg said,

Nothing spectacular.
I think some of these shots are awful..
Most are okay, but I’ve seen better.
The one of the worm/catapillar, horse, bird, and giraffe were horrible, I mean, wtf. And that poor horse looks so strained.
And don’t say anything like “you dont appreciate real art” because thats crap :) art is different for everyone, and everyone has a different point of view.

Kat said,

Your point of view sucks, Meg. :(

ok. so..the pictures are good.

BUT that horse should not look like that no matter what is happening. if it it is being bad then the rider should not have braced against it…bracing never works. the rider should have held one hand stationary and then pulled&given with the other hand. ugh. this kind of thing should NOT happen…
