This little guys is called Lucky,we named him such because he is a very lucky boy. His mother suffered liver failure on Memorial day and a terminal C-section was necessary to save this foal. He's lucky to be alive but sadly, he's now an orphan. He's been through a lot but shows a strength of will and spirit that far exceeds his 17 inch tall exterior. I chose to use a diffusion filter in the hopes of catching the magic of this tiny horse.

What a lovely shot to accompany such a bittersweet story. Hope he's continuing to do well.

Nice soft focus and bright colors very suitable for the small horse. Good composition. Maybe a little bit too bright.

Cute but doesn't really say Cowboy.

Aaah...what a cutie. In this challenge, a lovely reminder of how life goes on.

Oh, how lovely! Great color. Great action. Feels too pastoral to be cowboyish, though.

What a joyful shot, a reminder that life goes on, but also a fitting tribute.

too centred, but otherwise great shot of a fat pony foal belting through a meadow. 7

How adorable! Great dreamy sweet softness.

Not sure about the processing but there's no denying that this little one is cute. I'd like to see more space in front of him to give him something to run into.

Absolutely wonderful image...having a difficult time with the "Cowboy" connection quite honestly.
