The same two horses as in my earlier post in harness to a perfectly restored ammunition wagon.
The soldiers in WWI garb.

Very expressive moment you captured here; the horse fighting the bit and the handler--a face of concentration and consternation--fighting the horse(s).
Nicely framed and perfect technicals as well. Including whatever the "co-pilot" is holding on to. Wink
Thanks,
Wilt

The contrast between the men and the horses and the surrounding greenery works to bring a 3D feel to the image... one can almost imagine movement forward through the image right into the lap of the viewer.


Particularly struck by the horses... their dressage... their pose with the implied movement... their coloring (the feathering of white on their fetlocks almost looks as if it has been painted... so white and clean).

You managed the exposure so nicely with that harsh sunlight streaming down. The driver looks like he could use a little more time in the marching unit to burn off a little fat so his uniform would fir a little looser. I love the energy you captured with these very spirited horses.

This picture showed up along the side of the page, and it reminded me of walking up to the Park as a child, to see the twenty-one gun salutes for the Monarch's birthday. I think the uniforms were a little later though. A super shot of a perfectly matched pair of horses.
