Three Horses

I was walking by the house we rented in Sonoma and snapped a picture of these 3 horses. I sat down on the side of the road and as I was getting ready to take the photo, they wandered on over and seemed to pose for me. Maybe they did. Horses are pretty smart.

Hey Eric, this is a great composition. The horses made it easy for you, huh? :)

It's a great b&w shot too.

Greetings from Moab, Utah.

Hey, thx man. But I have to say I wasn't 100% happy with it. My eye keeps being drawn to the upper right portion of the photo to the sky. I tried messing with contrast, brightness, the curves tool, and with burning. Any ideas on how I can improve it? I even tried the highlight and fill-light functions in Picasa2. The horses are fun but the sky bugs me.

I'm glad you 2 are having fun in Utah. I can't wait to see your photos!!

hi Eric,

Greetings from Wendover, Nevada. We're at the Montego Bay Casino/Hotel tonight. We're on the home stretch, heading home, probably by Tuesday night.

I recommend a square format crop that concentrates on the 3 horses and leaves out the distracting bright sky on the sides. I am emailing you my version of the crop so that you can see what I'm talking about.
