Yes, this is a very maternal scene Helen. It is good to see the mares and foals all together in the field. I love seeing the dark brown foal with it's white / grey mother

Hello Helen,

I just love the image you have captured here. Lovely details with excellent lighting.
The way the mother is nudging her foal gives this so much tenderness.

I think it would have been good if you had been able to isolate the two without the distraction of the sleeping horses in the b/g.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Helen
Une image pleine de tendresse et nous avons tout le temps du plaisir à voir cela en photo.Ici une très bonne gestion de la lumière.Il est un peu dommage d'avoir coupé le cheval de droite.
Bonne journée.
Amicalement

This little one hardly looks like its mama, just the little bit of white on the back leg! Nice shot of nature at its best.

hmmm... I think I would have done a real tight crop on the mare and her foal. No distractions what so ever.
Other than that it's a wonderful picture... showing a a lot of tenderness, love and care from the mare.
The light is great, specially showing good details on the white mare.

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Smurfie,
Great to give me this mission to show "maternal feelings" for a male...Great, really brilliant I hardly could sleep of it. For you as mother it's easy...so you show here a great series of these pony's here the "main" image and in the WS the others. Well done my dear Blondy!
Really enjoy this view!

Hello Helen,
That is however interesting and clear photo, the colors is very beautiful. Wonderfully admission. The composition is excellent. A fantastisch made picture with very good sharpens. I like such pictures. Large composition owing to you. Good light and colors in the photo.
Best wishes.

hi Helkoryo,

i like this scene, quite cute, and a definite summer feel. i like your colours and the way the other ponies are lazing around.

nice details and good light management on a sunny day.

i have ventured to do a WS on your photo, i hope this is OK, just another perspective.

regards c.d.

Hi Helen,
Ahhhhhhh this is a great shot, mum and babe are so cute, it always amazes me how nearly all grey mares will have dark foals which as they get older will change colour, I know that it also depends on the colour of the father as well but this little one is really dark and stands out against him mum.
Nice detail and colours.

A great moment to capture - and especially nice in this shot since the mare is nuzzling her foal while it drinks - always cute!
I was about to suggest cropping out the gray mare when I read your note. I still think I would prefer her cropped out, but I understand why you didn't.
Very nice work!
