Best friends

Hi guys I have been a little pre-occupied to post recently, sorry
I don't usually "do" candids or portraits, but I caught these two in a quiet moment
with my newly aquired 24-105.
Very little processing done just a slight "USM" after "saving for web"
I would be interested in your comments.
Thanks in advance

A nicely caught 'bonding' moment!

I guess it's a shame that the horse's neck is on line with the skyline (and, arguably, that the horses ears are back not forward but that's being very picky!) but appreciate the moment happens and you need to react. Think it'd be a good candidate for mono (the blues just don't seem to sit comfortably!

)

Thanks Markulous

All very valid points.
I am really crap at mono but if someone wants to try they are welcome.

Zipped this together but it gives you an idea, I hope

Cropped and mono'd. Dodged the horse's eye to give a touch of shape/structure

Nicely done mono but I still prefer the colours, it's a lovely natural moment captured, nice one CGS
