Hi Kymm,
Thanks for your message - I appreciate it!
These horses galloping through the snow was such a visual treat - enhanced by freshly fallen snow that spiced up the dark trees. And with the background looking so beautiful, I chose a composition that minimized the white foreground and maximized the snow-covered trees.
Earlier during my Triple "D" Day at the Ranch, by the way, I tried some panning scenes - i.e., a slow shutter speed combined with panning the horses as they ran by. But, for this scene, I wanted everything crisp and clear ... hence, a fast shutter speed (1/250th sec.) to stop the action.

Great photo, Kerry! I love the balance between the white foreground (complete with horses) and the darker forest backdrop. The way the forest takes up the upper two-thirds of the composition... good use of the Rule of Thirds.

That was a great trip - one of the best BetterPhoto mini-meetings I've ever had. I can't wait to upload some of my photos too.

Again, excellent work here. #1325653
