“Hola Ruben, it is nice to meet you!
I see you have brought red apples, I’m happy for that!
Listen Ruben… I don’t think Pablo is a good person, he never brings apples for me…”

--------

Never mind what the horse is saying, I have to try everything once… even horse portraits!

This one is dedicated to my Spanish friend Ruben Maria (jasp), who first introduced me to animal portraits! You should go to his gallery and take a look at the diversity of sheep and cows...

Hi Pablo,
This is really something different then what I am used to. I like the clarity and the fine details in this lovely portrait. Great stong colors, especially the red. A very nice composition with the good space to give the feeling of where he/she's looking at.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Pablo

I like the slight tilt of the horses head, which gives it a slight look of vulnerability. Excellent dof & sharpness. Tfs!

Hello Pablo.
A Horse portrait :). A very different idea. Your model has given a very good pose.
Thanks to Ruben for introducing you to animal portraiture and thanks to you to introduce us to it.

Beautiful horse portrait. Great pose & good expression on the horse - nice alert ears. I'm posting a workshop on a couple things that might improve it. Hope you don't mind.

love the velvet nose in this nice 'portrait', good comp, thanx, M, (*-*)

Hi Pablo,

And what a portrait it is!

Looks like he is posing for you! I like the POV & tight crop. Still, he seems to be keeping a close on on you :))

Well seen & composed

About the picture, well, nicely made portrait with crisp details. An interesting moment has been captured, it seems like horse is in rejoice mood.

Hey Pablo, I don't know what you did, but Ruben looks almost like his head is about to come out of my screen! Awesome, lovely portrait with an a 3 dimensional quality. And Ruben looks so serene, and dignified in this image. You couldn't ask for a better shot, Best, Sam :-)

Nice one Pablo

wow, Pablo..wonderful sharpness, DOF, composition..and just attitude! my family are going to love this one.. I do too! Very well taken ,I think..TFS Meagan

Very nice Camel Paplo , although I am nor an animal expert the photo I know a little about.. and that apears to be in best shape! The head is perfectly taken .. ears to the front and you know you have to stap down when the ears go back, right?! (unless *_^
you like flying) TFS and points to follow
Also thanks for your reaction on my
Stairs / Escalier in España .. John T

Good try for a Portrait, Pablo.
But outdoor portraits are not that easy. (wind/ rain/ background, so, better to do this in the studio, or when you dont have, the livingroom.Further more, make sure the Hair is well dressed. lol
Have a fine weekend, Pablo.
Jan

Nice composition, a very nice close-up of this animal. The detail on the hide is beautiful. My only nit-pick has to do with the power line that cuts across in the background: should have been cloned out! Otherwise, very nice image!

Hi Pablo, what a nice portrait of this lovely horse! He looks so attentive to you.

Great colours and composition. I love horses as you know. Thx for showing this one.

Have a great day. Yan :)

Hi Pablo,

Nice that your friend Ruben introduced you to animal potraits and a very nice portrait this is!
Beautiful animals, horses and this horse really seems to be posing for you. It's almost like he wants to come out of the screen. You have captured him really well, and the colours look very good.
And a very funny note, it made me smile :-)
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Pablo, A good horsy introduction, but by the look of his fine coat he is not neglected too much! Good sharp close-up and looking into his eyes is a treat. Good framing. More animals from Norway will be good to see. Murray.

Hello Pablo, exellent work, i love this image captured by you.

I love horses but i can`t ride one cause it`s smell my worrie for them and they finish doing what they want with me.
Any way i think thar horses are fantastic creatures created by the hands of God.
Congratullations for this and thanks for share Ruben`s pic!!!

Hi Pablo,
I seem to have missed this excellent capture! Lovely portrait of a beautiful animal, the DOF is perfect and the detail and colors perfect. I admire the sharpness of your shot!
Have a great WE,
Vassilis

superb sharpness and colors pablo :)
beautiful details
excellent portrait of this beautiful horse :)

Hi Pablo
Cute capture of this little Pinto. His ears are perked forward that's a good sign he's paying attention to you. Probably looking for those red apples.

Pablo, if you would like to see some beautiful horse photography check out Robert Vavra, he has several books out and they will make you drool :)....they make me drool www.robertvavra.com

Hello, Pablo!

Fine posed horse, nice and sharp shot.
Nice work, Dear friend.

Malik & Mary.

pablo,
somehow i missed this one in your gallery (i was not in my right mindset!!).
good portrait of ruben!!
we all have to try everything once. good work.

The horse face is so beautiful and so thoughtful. My youngest sister has painted so many horse portraits, so I have learnt to love the shape. I also knew many horses, especially in my childhood. Frej, whome I rode when I was four (a nordsvensk) Lisette, the large ardenner mare, who gave birth to four boys - such a sadness when the fourth boy died because of a too strong injection from the vet - an accident, of course. And also my sisters horses, several islandshästar, New Forest, one halfblood called Casanova and lots of other horses. Now she has only a yorkshire terrier (more suitable for an apartment...)
This horse portrait is so beautiful. I like it very much.

hello Pablo! fantastic portrait of hours!wonderful light and sharpness! TFS

Great portrait. Seems like my boss... :)

Hi Pablo,
I must comment on this fine horse too.
He's a beauty! Love the colours!
You have taken it on the other side of the world and there is so much similarity, maybe they were seperated at birth? - and now they will be re-united via TL!

Hi Pablo,
What a handsome beat you have captured here. Great colors and razor sharp details to this lover of apples. I must say I'm fond of a nice crispy ripe apple myslef.
Regards, Tom

Hello Pablo. This is one gorgeous horse portrait. You have maintained the depth excellently of the horse with pristine sharpness and detail. Nicely blurred background in eliminating the busyness around the portrait and yet provided us with pleasant view. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Superb portrait - lovely sharp details, great colours and a good composition, with that slightly offcentre face.
Thanks for sharing

Good point of view, nice creation of the picture
