 Taken of two of my Arabian mares, they are mother and daughter. Put their feed pan in the the yellow flowers, I knew they would eat together. Cropped and ajusted levels, curves and saturation.

Thank you all for all the wonderful comments. I was so surprised that this was received so well. I love photographing my horses. :)

I can't imagine how patient you must have been waiting and watching for this perfect pose. Deserves to be in the top ten.

I love this picture simply because of the different colors that you captured.

A nice picture. The brown and white contrast nicely.

Would prefer the brown horse to be lighter though - his eye is hard to see.

A good effort.

This is beautiful! I love that this shot is so wonderful, and doesn't look like it was shot specifically for an even challenge (but it works so well for the challenge)! The little delicate flowers are wonderful, and the way the horses are in the same position is fantastic and the contrast between the two gives the shot a little extra interest. My only nitpick is that the brown horse is just a bit dark, and you can't see the details and texture of the fur as well as you can on the white one. Well done! :)

The contrast of the horses really emphasize them. This phtotgraph also has a sense of unity.

They look noble, even grazing.

I like the fact the horses are two different colours and the yellow from the flowers works well, the dof and crop both work well
