Wild Mustangs.

[Paul]

Saw Several Wild Mustangs running around the Teddy Rosevelt park. Some actually allowed me close enough to have to change lenses from my 100-400 to 17mm.

These were taken handheld, with 100-400 IS USM L on a Canon XTi. Lighting was Hard due to time of Day. I was in the park at about 5am mountain time as the sun was coming up.

WOW! Those are some really cool pictures! Im a BIG horse person and I love that last one!

[Dbl]

I like that last one as well.

I'll go against the grain here and say that the first one does it for me... the size of the horse against the mountain/hill puts everything into proper perspective. I have a baby foal that I'm working with down the street... hope they turn out nice.

I like the first one best as well. It's a very sweet environmental portrait that shows as much about the setting as it does the horse.

Nice work, Paul!
