Challenge: Horse(s) (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-450D Rebel XSi
Lens: Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L II USM Lens
Location: Toronto Zoo
Date: Aug 24, 2008
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/1250
Date Uploaded: Aug 24, 2008

 Shot of Przewalski's horses at the zoo. The picture is actually of two mothers and two sons, but since only one mother and one son are facing the camera I thought I would title it this. Since I haven't mastered Photoshop I'm still editing with iPhoto -- which is too bad since this picture could probably even meet the basic editing requirements ;)
The result is that the picture does not appear as sharp as it should be (since the "sharp" feature of iphoto only sharpens so much before it starts to add graininess), even though the original was quite sharp.

Interesting shot! I might have also tried capturing the “mother and son” without all the others.

It's a whole family! Cute. Having the two horses facing the camera helps to isolate them but I think a tighter crop would help a lot.

I wish this were a bit sharper... and perhaps more tightly composed on the mother and son. They're adorable together.

Nice asses--Slippy? Mules are sterile, but it's fun to imagine them as a nuclear family.
