My husband had been driving me around all afternoon looking for horses to photograph. I did lots of spotted ones and white ones and even mules and burros but this more ordinary colored horse had the cutest look on its face that I decided to use it. It was such a friendly horse. Taken just before the sun slipped down.

The horse looks like he's smiling! I like the sunlight on the one side of him, and his eyes are in sharp focus. Nice DOF as well. He really stands out well. :)
