Photographer's Note
The third photograph out of the series with fog during the same morning. I was almost on my destination and saw on the edge of the forest the meadow with two young horses. At once I took a image you can see the breath of the horses, I must taking with my 100mm lens, I was on mushroom hunt.
I've the same day found lovely mushroom too.
I hope you like it.

Charming production, John.
The fog and the horses…
Unusual combination of the power of nature and…the horsepower itself !!!
Great, ready to sell for big money – one captivating chunk of beauty.
A work of a master – indeed…

Ik weet het niet precies, misschien kom ik er later nog op. zeer fraai werk in ieder geval.

Hallo John. Dein heutiges Photo lebt auch von der besonderen Stimmung im Herbst. Der Nebel verzaubert die Welt. Im Kontrast dazu werden die Farben intensiver. Die neugierigen Pferde wirken wie Wesen aus einer anderen Welt. Die Augen spiegeln das Licht. Es sieht recht seltsam aus. Insgesamt sehr schön. Viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

This is one situation where soft focus works; it conveys the sense of fog. You need to fix the reflections in the eyes, though.
Nice positioning, too.

Very nice fog view again but perhaps less impressive than the riders since the horses are now partly masked by the fog as if the picture was taken through a light veil. The shining eyes make a strange effect.
All the best,

Hi John. Still on your mushroom hunt. And you didn't get lost in the fog. Just joking. A very unusual shot. Usually shots of horses accentuate the muscles, coat, form. Here we have the animal as an integral part of nature. Nice approach. Regards. Klaudio.
Cormac
(26565) 2007-10-16 18:10
What an unusual shot! The fog and mist eliminates any distractions in the background, and the mist in front of the horses makes it look like we are looking though a curtain at them. Nicely done (and congratulations on the mushrooms - my wife found about 5kg of mushrooms on Sunday, so she is very happy too!).

Oh how I miss having the time to spend on TE and having the joy to look at great photos as this one. Maybe soon I will find the time again to spent with my TE friends.
A dream image with intruiging atmosphere.

Hi John. That is an amazing capture. I love the dreamy and surreal effect that the fog gives. I guess the reflection from your flash is doing that to their eyes for a real spooky touch. Fantastic shot John!!

Hello John,
Eh bien je dois dire que je ne n'aime pas du tout celle-là.
Je n'arrive pas à accrocher ! Le brouillard artificiel ne donne pas un très bon résultat ! Pourquoi l'avoir rajouté ici ! La brume d'arrière plan aurait suffit à donner une ambiance particulière à l'image. Pas besoin de dessiner le brouillard !
De plus le contour des chevaux est retravaillé et resort désagréablement !
Pour moi cela ne colle pas !!!
A+
EDIT :
Hello John,
I still do not like the image but it is true that my criticism is a little exaggerated ! The first impression is not always the good one !!
But this image is so different from the two last that astonished me!
Without resentments!
I find of your work in any event very good. I like the superb perspectives which you create in your images and your splendid landscapes !
Have a nice day John.

The fog certainly created a lovely misty effect. Wonderfully composed and I like the way you positioned the horses just off center. Well composed with good image quality. Well done! tfs

Dag John. Dit is wel een "specialleke". Ik zie dat de keuze van lens toch een groot verschil maakt; ik kreeg er de mist niet goed uit en ziehier waarom. Ik moet dat nog eens herproberen. Ik vind het persoonlijk niet de mooiste die je al gemaakt hebt (maar smaken verschillen uiteraard); het is wel één van de origineelste en de paarden poseren toch weer zo mooi voor je. Groetjes!

Dag John,
it is a strange but pleasant impression. The soft contrasts and the over the whole capture spreaded shades of fog makes it very mystical. Partly the fur of the horses is visible, the same is about the quality of the ground. I think the glance of the eyes is a bit strong, like some light in your back being reflected.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello John,
These robust horses are a little ghostly in this fog. The fog blurs the photograph and gives a superb effect, almost a painting. Excellent idea and realization.
Spend a good day.
Cordially.

Good symmetry between the 2 animals, which are well placed in the frame. The fog adds mystery & mood. Well done!

Dag, John. Een illustratie van het slechte weer dat we een paar weken geleden hebben gekend. De twee paarden brengen wat kleur in het miezerige weer. De bomen die amper uit de mist te voorschijn komen, geven een goed idee van de weersomstandigheden.

the fog helps to obtain this mysterious and interesting graphical effect on the image of the horses in the field, that seems a painting.
I like, it's an impressive and attractive work.

Hello John
Not too sure what I think of this one. It all looks a bit sureal to me and the eyes look kind of spooky. But photography is a matter of personal taste - what is one person's cup of tea may not be another's. And I know that you appreciate honesty.
Best wishes

Interesting scene with the two horses and the fog covering them, good quality shot with a misty effect. It doesn't say if you used or not flash, if you didn't use it why the light reflection on the eyes. Very interesting.

Dobar dan-popodne gospodine.
Prvi dan leta a kod nas po starom, nevreme, kisa i grmljavina sa jakim vetrom.
Bio sam lovac i mnoga jutra sam docekao u sumi i divio se prirodi koja je pravila maglu i sakrila zivotinje.
Odlican trenutak snimka i motiv, prelepa fotografija, cestitam vam na radu.
Prijatno prvo letnje popodne, uspeh i dobro zdravlje, zeli vam Paja.
Google.
Een goede dag in de middag, meneer.
De eerste dag van de zomer en we in de oude storm, regen en onweer met harde wind.
Ik was een jager, en veel 's ochtends wachtte ik in de bossen en bewonder de natuur die is gemaakt mist en verstopte het dier.
Groot tijdregistratie en thema, mooie foto's, ik feliciteer u voor uw werk.
Pleasant zomermiddag, eerste, succes en een goede gezondheid, je wilt Paja.
A good day in the afternoon, sir.
The first day of summer and we in the old storm, rain and thunderstorm with strong wind.
I was a hunter, and many morning I waited in the woods and admire the nature that has made mist and hid the animal.
Great time recording and theme, beautiful photos, I congratulate you for your work.
Pleasant summer afternoon, first, success and good health, you want Paja.
