Hi Folks,

A horse ride to an island, anyone?...:)

You don't have to snorkel or scuba dive to see a seahorse. You are seeing a 'real' seahorse....literally! It is a horse braving a sea! :)

The boy, who I believe is a race jockey judging by his size, is giving a regular morning physical exercise to his pony.

Not far from this beach is a horse race track just at one end of the Kota Kinabalu International Airport.

The horses are rather small. The locals call them kuda padi. The speed? Hey, what d'ya mean speed? Don't expect it from the ponies. It is who reaches the finishing line first that matters....:)

Thanks for viewing and have a great weekend.

Agoes

Hi Agoes,

Adiii... this is a really good shot I think. What interests me in this photo is how your subject (horse and rider) looks so sharp and vivid compared to everything else around it. That is one thing which really draws the eye's attention I think.

TFS.

Assalamualaikum chief,
The island looked nearer with the use of zoom lens. The light and weather condition is perfectly benefited. Lovely colors too.

I admire your commitment in making a photo that had come across, painted and planned in your mind - knowing that you had actually repeatedly came to the beach to get a shot of the ‘seahorse’ and finally nailed the quality of composition you wanted – this is a freshly baked from your SD card!!

Very interesting note as usual.

Salam,
Ndan.

Good capture - beautiful location and great subject. A struggle with light here, the strong sunlight has created quite harsh light-and-shadow which is a shame, but difficult to overcome I think. Good composition although I think you could've trimmed a little off the bottom of the frame with no loss to the shot.

Hi Agoes,
Great shot. I've heard of people breaking horses in the water but I haven't actually seen a picture of it. Great daily life capture. Nice work.

Kevin

hi Agoes

Very good capture of horse ride through the water. I tried to find horses Kudat or Kota Belud but it was off season. You must get CPL. tfs
