Here I'm pulled back a bit to include the spring wildflowers. Jolene uses hand gestures when working with the purebred.

Love the composition in the main image; it is about Jolene and her love of horses in general, not this specific horse, and the horse's muzzle, without eyes, is a great leading line to her face and its orientation and expression of joy. The horse is obviously expressing affection by pushing her head to the side.

Beautiful portrait, Howard! (and the red top doesn't hurt either)

I really love the first one. It shows a great candid interaction. The second one just doesn't quite have that.

I downloaded a 30 trial of On One Perfect Portrait 2 software.
Ran this one through for a kinder/softer look
