Having a Scratch

Hi everyone,

Although I have never posted a photo on the UK forum before I have been checking out all the wonderful shots posted here since I joined a couple of years ago. I am a 99% landscape photographer but if an photo opportunity pops up in front of me I will try my best to take it.

I took this shot last week on Llanddwyn Island, Anglesey.

All comments are welcome and thanks for looking.

Gary.

Good to see you posting on this forum Gary, think you have captured this scene very well and looks like the horse is enjoying it's moment..

Hi Gary,

Nice to see another landscaper on this forum, as I need some company from time to time . So PLEASE post some ladscape images of yours as well.

I like the comic nature of your photo. But above all, the detail in the grass is plain fantastic. I'm thinking of some radical croping, but yes, I like it as is.

Cheers,
Marko

Hi Gary,
Will gladly look at any of your work......landscape or otherwise......if it's quality is as good as this.
I'm not very active with wildlife/landscapes anymore, but when the chance arrives I don't turn away from it.
Cheers

Hi Gary,

Welcome to posting here - hopefully a few more to come too?

Looks a hardy pony, and in a good shaggy winter coat too - so it was probably really enjoying a good scratch!

You might like to try it as a B&W image (and add a bit of grain too), and also works as a panoramic

Cheers for the comments everyone.

Nick, these Welsh mountain ponies are very hardy, Llanddwyn Island gets the full brunt off the Irish sea.

Marko, I will sure post a few landscapes.

Thanks again, Gary.

I'm loving the windswept grass on this one, Gary.

Andy...

Lovely image
