cool.....nice horsey!
For me, I would prefer to push the level down a little, so the background looks darker and the horse stands out more..
Just a thought...
Nonetheless, nice image. I have not been able to see this one so far...sigh...
cheers

Sam, Remus was here again last night waiting for the clouds to clear, so:

Just some trial images, but this isn't the best place to talk about it. This is Mill's thread about his Horsey images [smilie=good-job.gif]
I'm sure when he gets some good imaging done he'll post them. :mrgreen:
