..precious moment captured Michelle...lovely tones that go with the warm feeling you get when viewing this image....Aimee

11/19/2009 3:34:12 AM

Your farm images are all soooo special, Michele...hey, they would make a great BOOK (wink wink). This gal's a sweetie...she and her sister share a special bond with their animals, it's very apparent in your awesome photos!

11/19/2009 3:36:19 AM

This is wonderful,Michelle!Fabulous clarity,tones and lighting!Great feel to it too!

11/19/2009 3:37:18 AM

11/19/2009 3:44:44 AM

Very sweet capture!!!

11/19/2009 3:50:10 AM

Great timing.
You can't miss with a youngster and a horse.

Nice !

11/19/2009 3:50:14 AM

You might have put it in Catch~All
I'M putting it in My Favorites!!

Oh My Goodness!!
Instantly brought a tear to my eye Mickey!
A wonderful capture of Trust Love Admiraton!!

I agree with W~A~C
A Book would be Nice!!!!

11/19/2009 3:58:26 AM

Change it to PEOPLE since the people out number the animals! There is a people in the foreground, ya know! This is as good as it gets, Michelle!

11/19/2009 4:08:49 AM

Aww... so sweet Michelle, beautiful capture!

11/19/2009 4:21:02 AM

Absolutely delightful!

11/19/2009 4:24:03 AM

What a capture of the feeling between this young lady and her horse. It looks great it b/w Michelle. I have a grandniece who has a horse and I have seen the bond between the two. Just wonderful.

11/19/2009 4:48:44 AM

Now this is a cool shot...the effects, the different elements and the framing..super work!!

11/19/2009 4:50:31 AM

Great shot here Michelle.

11/19/2009 4:58:50 AM

This is sooo nice Michelle!

11/19/2009 4:59:35 AM

Little girls and their horses! Cute catch, Michelle.

11/19/2009 6:08:51 AM

Awesome display of affection Michelle. Love the tone and pov, well done as always.

11/19/2009 6:13:28 AM

What a sweet moment....like the BW!

11/19/2009 6:20:02 AM

Excellent capture of a precious moment, Michelle! Beautiful B&W image.

11/19/2009 6:26:39 AM

Very sweet portrait of this young lady and her "friend," Michelle!

11/19/2009 7:12:45 AM

A very well composed and appealing image. Very well done!!!

11/19/2009 7:14:39 AM

Love the POV that frames the little girl and places the horse's eye just above the fence!! Excellent contrast, tones and clarity here Michelle!

11/19/2009 8:51:02 AM

Fantastic shot Michelle! Well composed and very sweet!

11/19/2009 9:29:05 AM

Very NICE Capture Michelle!!!!!!!!!!!!.

11/19/2009 10:28:41 AM

a wonderful scene!

11/19/2009 10:38:02 AM

Cute capture, great tones and like the noses framed through the fence! PS - the boardwalk was across some sand dunes they were trying to preserve.

11/19/2009 11:01:28 AM

A beautifully presented image of this cute girl and her friend, Michelle! I have a daily dilemma as to which category to enter my photos in!

11/19/2009 11:49:34 AM

Oh, I love this, Michelle. A story-teller. Straight into my favs.

11/19/2009 11:51:02 AM

Beautiful photo, wonderful tones, interesting composition.

11/19/2009 12:29:32 PM

Terrific capture, Michelle!

It's very hard to get a full shot of my garden. The 'garden' part is rather small. The rest is just bush, where the best flowers sometimes appear (mainly in Spring).

11/19/2009 3:18:55 PM

Into my favorites Michelle, this is amazing!!!

You know when I was a around 2 years old we were in my aunt's farm and nobody could see me...finally they found me with the horses, jumping under them and trying to touch their faces :))))) I have photos my mom took at that moment and this remember that so much! Touching photo...

11/19/2009 4:15:26 PM

This is so sweat..wonderful tones and effects !! Love how they are touching noses.

11/19/2009 4:27:27 PM

Oh what a precious capture! That would have been me at that age!

11/19/2009 5:02:24 PM

Nothing sweeter then a girl and her horse.

11/19/2009 5:29:41 PM

Fantastic pov and capture!! :) She is adorable!

11/19/2009 6:12:01 PM

Excellent image, Michelle, draws me right in and makes e want to stay there!

Debby

11/19/2009 6:29:18 PM

Wonderful moment and capture Michelle!!!

11/19/2009 10:46:19 PM

A gorgeous capture Michelle love the interaction. I wondered if you had considered cutting off the top of the picture above the fence so we just get the girl and the horse's nose framed by the fence! Just wondered if it would also work like that!

11/19/2009 11:57:31 PM

The tones,clarity and composition are awesome Michelle!!The moment can only be described as precious!!Brett

11/20/2009 1:08:14 AM

Aaah! Sweet!

11/20/2009 1:55:59 AM

This is very beautiful, Michelle,

11/20/2009 3:23:47 AM

This is a very special moment!
I love the tones, detail and composition!

11/20/2009 5:16:05 AM

Michelle, there is something in this image that keeps me focused. The bright/sharp/tones are great, the composition is also original and reveals a great natural interaction...but is something more. Not sure what.

11/20/2009 1:24:06 PM

I love that sweet little look on her face and also how gentle the horse seems. A bond is there! Wonderful!!!

-Laura :)

11/21/2009 8:58:16 AM

Nice work Michelle. Great choice of POV and presentation in B&W. The tender, loving moment you captured is very precious.
We could use some additional categories or some different ones from time to time.

11/21/2009 12:25:13 PM

Great work, Michelle; I like the way you've captured both girls with both horses.. wonderful composition, and tone.

11/22/2009 8:29:41 AM
