I took this photo nearly one year ago, in the South Island of New Zealand, near Fox Glacier.. we had just walked to the Glacier and had come home to our motel, across the road from the Motel was farmland and this lovely horse, I saw this nice evening light, and rushed to take this photo.. I wasnt sure if I had captured it to well.. I hadnt had my SLR camera that long at this time, and was still working on different settings etc.. but after some tweaking I think this has come out ok.. What do you think ?

Please see close up shot of horse in workshop

Thanks for your critques folks.

Hi Dawn

I like the ambient yellow light from the late afternoon sun. The horse is a superb addition & animates the shot. Good sharpness too. Tfs!

Very beautiful light you've captured here.
I don't know if the composition is by the book but I think it works great. There are lots of shapes in your composition with all the lines that cross eachother.
The colours are great and I really like the earth coloured tones.

Very nice

Well done

Hi Dawn,
very good picture with beautiful sunset colours. I like it alot. The horse seem a little small to me, maybe a bit closer would keep the nice background but give the horse more importance.
Keep it up mate!!

Nice one Dawn, gorgeous warm lighting. How fortunate to have a white horse, he completes your picture perfectly.
Love the moss on the gate.
Cheers,
Pete.

The light is what makes this, Dawn -- you have captured the morning light beautifully.
As to the composition: I think I'd have been inclined to put more space in front of the horse, but then -- maybe you did not have the time. The light is definitely the thing here

Dawn this is beautiful, the golden light on the gate and horse looks fantastic, composition is excellent and the whole exposure in general is great. Well done.

hi dawn, yes indeed wonderful light (my favorite-the last rays of sunshine) you captured the light very well and also with a nice composition, well done, thanks scott

Wonderful South Westland light!!! As soon as had a glimpse of the thumbnail I knew where it was!
Well done.

Hi Dawn: I like how youturned awayfrom the low setting sun to pick up the golden hues here,I think this aspect of a sunset is just as important IMHO...... Thanks for showing ...Roman:0)

Nice work on the light, Dawn. I love that golden glow. Though I think this is a beauty, its beauty is surpassed by the workshop image. Maybe because the horse doesn't get to play the leading part in this compo...
Anyway, TFS!

Hi Dawn,
So that is the term - tweaking - I'll remember.
Well the outcome is a most pleasing golden light - love the shadow and sunlight on the mountain and again an interesting sky.
You must have loved being there.
The horse WS does not have a BG as lovely as this one and in the WS it is the landscape and not the horse that is bathing in the evening sun - so good choise for your upload.

Hello Dawn, I just happen to see this lovely picture.
There is lots of thing to look at here, the moss on the fence, the horse and the blanket, the layers of fence and the mountain in the bg.
Beautiful golden light.

Superb! Take care, Yan :)

Amazing photo Dawn. Technically perfect picture. Great atmosphere. Very well done.

Hi Dawn
Wow, there are lots of wonderful textures, lines and colours here. The soft light conditions brings out so many interesting shadows and colour. The horse is a nice subject standing there with his warm blanket on. Well done.

Love the light and the "crusty" fence! I hope the horse has as good a view in the direction he is looking! Such a wonderful landscape! How many more exclamation marks can I get away with?!
