Marcie A. Fowler 1/24/2005 8:07:46 AM

Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments everyone. I really don't think the cold bothers them as much . . . but the wind on this day probably did. They were all in the shelter until I showed up with the camera. #1060043

Well, I'm already partial to horses, so that has my vote already, but...

This capture is simply fabulous! I love the effect the blowing snow is giving off, and the added softness. I'd love to have a framed picture of this hanging on my future barn office wall!

LOL Poor ponehs! Here they came expecting a cookie :P

I definitly think this shot will ribbon. Congrats on the finals, and good luck! #1117418

What a terrific shot. I just found your gallery, can't get enough. Amazing! #1833664

Lynn Margason 7/28/2006 5:52:29 AM

I rarely comment on photos that have this much feedback already, but this one brings back some fond memories for me. I had film images of my horses when I lived in New Mexico during blizzards. Only difference was they were dark and the snow had melted off their bodies and stuck unmelted to their manes; creating a frosted effect! But, those were predigital days! This one, as you've adjusted it, expresses the hour so well! The horses have their coat and their fat to resist the cold, they seem to almost enjoy a snow blanket, but the wind makes them turn tail! I recently worked with some rain shots and know that getting the snow to look just as it does must be tricky. Excellent job! #3094061

Hurk (Steve) Hurkett 1/17/2007 8:28:42 AM

Very nice wintertime image, Marcie ... I can't believe you made those poor horses come out in that kind of weather ... now, do'nt you feel guilty?

LOL

Description

Image taken on Thursaday during our snow storm. I think the horses thought I had food so they came out of their shelter to check it out. They quickly saw it was my camera and the made a b-line for their hay bale (LOL)!! They seem to actually prefer being out in the weather as opposed to in the shelter, especially my horse.

Made some adjustments to color and levels and then added a slight touch of the dreamy effect.
