This afternoon I was with my bike when I saw the horse and foal.
This foal was born two days ago.
I love animals in general, grew up with them on my parents' farm

My photo, Mother and according to the owner a daughter (foal)

A foal needs rest more often and for longer
A young of a horse that is less than a year old is called a foal. With relatives such as donkeys and zebras, the young are also called foal and for other young animals the designation is also used. For example, the young of a camel are sometimes called a foal, although calf is more common.

Female and male foals look alike; the differences come as the foal gets older. The sex of a new-born foal can be determined by looking under the tail: the construction of the female genitals is already visible.
The foal is usually born at night after a gestation period of 11 months. Foals can stand up immediately after birth. Because the young animal's motor skills are not yet fully developed, it will be a bit shaky at first, but the foal will immediately start looking for its mother's udder. The first milk is also called colostrum and contains many antibodies that the vulnerable foal can use.

I hope you like it.

Witaj John!
A very nice view, beautiful horses are impressive.
Good framing, colors and light.
What is this combination with depth of field?
I like it.
Well done.
Good evening.
Krzysztof

Hello John,
Although the note is missing, a photo like this doesn't really need any explanation other than because of the rules of the site. It's a very beautiful view, and the little girl is looking curiously at you. She had probably never seen a human with a camera before. Her mother was experienced and kept on eating calmly.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi John,

The subject is well framed. The point of view is showing the details of the horse and of the baby horse. The light is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Hello John, the shallow depth of field works well in this shot.
Excellent sharpness, the sheen of the horses’ coat is so clear.
The foal is wondering what you are doing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi John,
this is a very charming family photo. Both mother and daughter are so photogenic! They are crispy sharp with pleasantly blurred background. You caught them in a lovely pose as well.
Excellent work,
M

Hallo John,
Een mooie foto van dit veulen en het volwassen paard dat er nog beschermend bij in de buurt staat. De groene, wazige achtergrond zorgt dat de beide dieren mooi en scherp afsteken.

Hallo John,
Heel leuke foto van moeder en dochter.
Vooral omdat het veulen nieuwsgierig richting fotograaf kijkt.
De merrie graast ongestoord verder.
Het lijkt alsof je in de weide dicht bij de paarden stond.
In de buurt waar ik woon zijn enkele maneges maar de weiden waarin de paarden staan, hebben alle een dubbele omheining. Dit om te voorkomen dat wandelaars dichtbij de paarden komen en ze eten geven.
PS: Mijn vorige foto toonde niet een vlucht vogels maar massa's vleermuizen.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello John,
Lovely scene of the mother-horse and child in the pasture.
Shining fur indicate that they are well taken care.
Have a nice sunday,

Hello John,

The difficulty adding a note has happened with me a few times recently! I always copy the text before uploading it so that it is easy enough to edit the photograph afterwards.

To be honest, we know exactly what you have photographed here! Foals are so endearing! We immediately love them and to see this one, looking at the camera, whilst mum is busy eating, is just charming!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello John,
What a pretty sight, animals with their young always put a smile on my face. Is the motion blur natural or Photoshop generated?
Regards,
