This is a picture perfect photo. The clarity is excellent and the composition is good. The angle of view is perfect. Great job with the camera exposure.

Don't know how this photograph could be improved. It is a well done picture fully displaying the beauty of a magnificent looking horse. A beautiful figure up front and center without shame showing the beauty of simply being. Impressive. Reasons for my five star vote.

Thank you so much! For some reason this photo got completely overlooked in its contest in favor of what I thought were much simpler subject shots. I had a new Yashika film camera with a powerful zoom lens, but was mostly too busy to use it. I'll email you a couple more of Oriental Gold since you seem to grasp a few unusual things. For instance, even modern horsemen don't seem to grasp that it is the quality of feed that makes the coat look great, so instead even in summer, the Arab people body clip their show horses. I never needed to because I fed the best feed and supplements. The coat also reflects the health of the animal's digestion. A very wormy animal for instance, will show that condition from what I would call "worm hairs", which are scattered long, coarse hairs that appear along with the natural body coat. And so on!.... Congratulation on your knowledge (spontaneous insight?!) It was sad that this great animal did not end up so well, but I simply did not have the money to shelter him from a dangerous world. After leaving my crazy parent's I hoped to find this alternate world at a sophisticated level a bit more wholesome than I did, but as you say in one of your posts, nothing is quite black or white! To protect a fine animals and honor the expertise to manage it in a competitive world takes affluence I am afraid -- in my experience at least, and I always lived hand to mouth... Thanks for your insightful review! Daphne

What a gorgeous photo of this yearly! I love the shiny coat and the straight stature that it has! The mane and tail are so perfect it almost looks like a stuffed item in a museum! Such a beautiful shot captured here...Well done!

MY first glimpse of this horse was how beautiful he is. When you read the story behind the horse it breaks your heart. I think that story makes one see the horse even more majestically! I'm glad he had the chance to breed even if it was a short time! Thanks for sharing this wonderful image! :o) Helvi

Good artists notes and I like the storytelling with your image. An interesting perspective ....show casing the beauty of this gorgeous horse. Taken in good lighting with sharp focus revealing good details of the fur and mane of this gorgeous creature. I love the background showing the habitat of the horse ....with the blue sky and the fencing framed by the tree all compliments this photography. Thanks for sharing this story and photography.

Thanks very much for your positive review. Eventually I will post a photo of this horse as an adult stallion, and perhaps a photo of his similar dam. Due to his athletic flexibility, the way he moved and large size for an Arabian, the nickname given him by observers became Red Dragon. Unfortunately, due to the shoulder injury, he developed structural deviations in both front legs which later photos show...
