Horses at Dawn

I took this silhouette earlier this month photographing the white horses of the Camargue, in southern France.  It is cropped only from the top and bottom to give it a panaoramic effect and required only very minor processing.  Canon EOS 7D Mark II, Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM at 100mm, Manual exposure 1/2500th at f/8, ISO 400.

I like the scene and the panoramic composition.  Nice job.

I really like the energy and action of this and I think the panoramic effect really aids in the overall composition.

The horses and their reflections stand out very well here, Charles.  The different strides, the splashes and the distant lands add some fine extra touches.  The pano comp. fits perfectly.

Interesting to get silhouettes of white horses, Charles. I like the way they're parallel to the line of land in the bg.
