Bare basics

Another something a little different. You’re supposed to at least see the subject’s head/face in wildlife photography, let alone a “catchlight” in the eye (at least one of them). A pic of a tail probably isn’t, um, traditionally considered a successful pic? πŸ™‚

Just call me a photography rebel!

And let me know if something, anything, about this pic appeals to you … or not!?

(For photography nerds, this pic is nearly exactly as it came out of the camera. I cropped out a bit of the extraneous (?) darkness, and I applied some “sharpening,” and that’s it.)

This is a fascinating photo, TJ. And otherworldly. I love the light, especially the illumination on that beautiful tail. And that’s also a well-sculpted mustang rump. 😁 “Photography rebel” indeed! Such a fun picture.

Sometimes my favorite pix are the ones I don’t even know at the time that I’ve caught. πŸ™‚ It wasn’t really that dark down in the mid-level of the arroyo, but I love everything about that pic (except that there’s a shrub with bare branches right there!). πŸ™‚

There’s really something about the movement, eh? And the dust she left behind. … Ghostly mustang!

It’s a beautiful photograph TJ, it reminds me a bit of the way Rembrandt used light in his paintings πŸ’›
