Bella la luce, illumina molto bene il cavallo e anche la tua ombra non disturba, anzi crea un bel gioco con quella del cavallo, bel posto Roio, natura calma e lavori tradizionali.
Complimenti Ludo.
Ciao

Hi Ludo,

thank you for your uplifting and wonderful words. And also thank you for this wonderful shot. I love horses. They are so elegant. Its skin on spring background of green grass and yellow flowers is simply marvelous, so is its shadow embracing shadow of you. Such a lovely detail, it feels like he is your guardian. :)

Warm regards,
Jeri

Ciao Ludo,
Very nice warm light on the horse, ideally it should not be place with the nose on the frame border but considering the area behind it is well filled by the background village and this allows you to show better the light effect in the end it's a good compromise.
Have a nice day JY

Hi Ludo,
A very nice view of the hills and the village in the background. The horse is nicely added to the foreground as is your own shadow. The light is really pleasant and enhancing. Very good photo work!

Lars

Hello Ludo,

Jolie lumière, sur cette image de campagne.
Les ombres, du cheval, et la tienne, sont marrantes.
Bonne soirée
Marie

Hello Ludo,
I see a lovely animal enjoying the afternoon sun!
This is a happy and well groomed horse, hopefully the yellow flowers aren't buttercups as they are poisonous for horses if eaten fresh...
A well composed image with rich colours and funny shadow play!
Greetings,

Ciao Ludo.
Bell'inquadratura che hai voluto delimitare seguendo la staccionata. Però il cavallo annusa la cornice. Potresti forse adottare un formato quadrato tagliando un po' di roba sulla sinistra. Ottime le ombre del cavallo e della figura umana.
Ciao, Bobo.

Ciao Ludo,
bellissima, da poster ( quelle gigantografie che si usava appendere alle pareti della camera quando eravamo un pò più giovani ). In questa immagine tutto è rilassante e calmo, compreso il bellissimo paesaggio collinare. Trovo interessante il gioco di ombre tra te e il cavallo. Un meritato BRAVO!!!
Ciao
Paolo.

Hi Ludo,
I think this is an excellent shot. I like the two shadows being so close to each other, as if you are talking to the horse. Good backdrop as well.
Wonderfully done,
Shaeri
