 Sun in and out of clouds, showers made for interesting light. This stallion yawns often, the challenge is about lighting and background because of the pipe and wire fencing.

What a great picture.
I can't help but to smile when I see this.
A bit left field for bored, but still a great shot regardless!

Wow, 38 people thought this sucked and/or didn't meet the theme of boring against 35 giving it 8 and over, certainly the most polarized opinions on one of my entries. What a neat shape to the histogram! ;-)

Tech note for commenters. Horses don't puke--they physically can't. So when they have a stomach/intestinal blockage, it can be life and death, and gas colic incredibly uncomfortable. They can certainly fart, which helps!

this picture actually made me yawn! p.s.: that was not meant in a bad way.

Very few animals can look more bored than a horse, mule or donkey. The only animal shot so far that I am rating above a three. 5 - for the horse doing something other than standing or lying down. ;-)

Cool shot. Nice DOF....but I don't necessarily look at this photo and get the "bored" feeling. Neat pic though for sure.

horse puking not bored

This is actually pretty funny! It looks like it's about to throw up!
Focus is good, as well as the the lighting. I think the BG is a bit distracting. could have cropped a little more at the top, a tyny little part of the fence can be seen there at the top left part of the image. And there's also a dust spot on the image, but that's not a big problem, I think.
