One of the wild horses at Paynes Prairie had this foal in December. Their coats are so beautiful when they're young.

Great subject. Pose is active, but normally grazing is less interesting than other activity. Textural level detail seems a bit lacking and one might be able to tweak out some more with selective processing. I would be aiming for facial detail, especially, and some reflectivity in the eyes.

Thanks, Lon. See what you think about this level of textural detail. I desaturated the black a little bit to keep it from turning blue, also. The eye is facing down, unfortunately. I did get some more detail out of it, but I don't know if you'll be able to see it at this size.
