A friendly horse, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

Français/French
Sur le long de la route, le soleil, le ciel et les nuages ont attiré mon attention. Par la suite un cheval s'est approché. Il était très calme et amical. J'ai donc décidé de l'inclure dans le cliché.

Excellent work with the horse's silluete from a short distance, little enlightened and enriched by the good composition with few colors on the background, not distracting our attention but presenting harmonious elements. The colors of the sky are amazing. The picture provides a sense of peace and grandeur, with harmony with the vast lands of our world. I like it. Congratulations! Regards from Brazil!

Bonjour Denis,

I really like your sunrise photograph with the brown-tinged silhouette of the friendly horse. Excellent placement of the horse in the frame to block the full onslaught of the sun and to show us the frozen field and beautiful winter sky beyond. The horse wanted you to take it home with you so it could get warm - I don't blame him!

Have a wonderful day,
Reed

Bonjour Denis ,
très belle capture que ce contre jour . Les couleurs du paysage sont magnifiques , et l'attitude du cheval est superbe . Un cadrage peut être un peu trop serré ? Mais c'est un choix .
Amicalement

Hi Denis
there are a number of great elements that make up this wonderful photo.
The large blue sky with the whispy clouds, the oranged sunlight on the snow which looks like glass, and of course the silhouetted horse.
one of your best i think
Love it!
Cheers to a great w/e

Bonjour Denis,

L'inclusion du cheval aide au cadrage de l'image. La prise de vue dirige mon regard vers les arbres ce qui donne de la profondeur à la composition. Le coucher du soleil donne de belles couleurs au ciel, à la neige et met le cheval à l'ombre. Bon weekend.

Olá Dênis,
um belo contraluz conseguiu nesse cavalo aqui, deixando a composição das mais interessantes. As cores no funco (céu e solo) ficaram excelentes também. Belo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço

Bravo Denis

Effectivemnt il est pas farouche et a bien pris la pose, ce qui convient bien a la composition. Le soleil derrière permet de bien voir sa silhouette et ce très beau paysage de campagne.

plimrn (21344) 2010-01-31 20:04

Bonsoir Denis,
The near silhouette of the horse is enhanced by the the fringes of hair against the light, and he is well positioned to block the brightest part of the sun. The sky is wonderful, and the reflection of color against the snow/water? also adds joy.

Bonjour Denis,

beaucoup de tes photos ont une vraie dimension du romantisme. Ce motif de meme. Tu as habilement cache le soleil. Belle image, merci ami!

cam (9043) 2010-02-01 18:44

Tu as osée Denis..... et réussie
un contre jour ou le soleil dessine en lumière le contour du cheval.
Même le ciel souriait pour toi en te donnant des cirrus qui s'étirent vers toi, chanceux va.

J'aime
Charles

gunbud (34066) 2010-02-01 19:38

Hi Denis,
You struck gold with this one.
The deeply shilouetted hourse against the blue and gold sky is magical.
The late sun reflecting over the winter's snow is mystical.
Great shot my friend.
Regards, Tom

pablominto (53746) 2010-02-01 22:34

Hello Denis,

An interesting composition, with the half silhouetted horse controlling the frame!
I notice the lovely winter light and the fine veil of clouds...
A beautiful colour palette and good depth in this well balanced composition!

Greetings,

Hi Denis,
very attractive catch. Congratulations!
The horse makes a very nice silhouette standing against the beautiful sky. I admire the depth of the field so that you can see the horses' hair against the sun and yet see very well the landscape behind. The light is fantastic as well,
great work,
M

danos (110407) 2010-02-07 0:29

Bonjour Denis,
you did perfect including the coming horse to you in the frame.I like its dark silhouette as the way that outlined against the blue and puffy sky.The management of the subdued light with its superb pastel colour tints from the last light of the day,is just prefect.Well done.

Have a nice Sunday,Danos

Très belle image. J'aime beaucoup la composition et les couleurs du ciel, et également le fait que le cheval est au premier plan et prend une grande partie de l'espace.
Très réussie.

Hello, Denis!

Great composition with the silhouette of the horse in the foreground and with wonderful sunset colors in the background! Very good depth as well! Excellent job!

Waylim (25436) 2010-03-07 12:03

Hi Denis,
Beautiful shot, at a quick glance I thought you found a unicorn :)
Beautiful sky, very dramatic light and sumptuous colors from the brilliant blue to the warm golden tone, the silhouette of the house still have some details of different shade and the glow of the edges of the houses give it the 3 dimensional feel. My only minor comment would be that it is crop a bit too tight the house’s ear is nearly touching the frame, I would have give it a little more room top and bottom. Otherwise really beautiful shot. I enjoyed it much.
Way

francio64 (39888) 2010-04-29 5:10

Ciao Denis,
complimenti per questa bellissima immagine ricca di atmosfera.
Il cavallo in silhouette rende dinamica l'immagine.
Ottimo il punto in cui lo hai collocato, facendone riempire 1/3 del fotogramma.

Bravo!
Francesco

Loic_bzh (7646) 2010-06-03 4:29

Salut Denis,

j'avais loupé celle-là (faut dire que je ne venais plus trop sur TE)... Elle est vraiment superbe et l'éclyse du solei derrnière ce cheval est une excellente idée...

Bonne journée,

Loïc

Bonsoir Denis
Ëtes-vous "l'homme qui sait parler aux chevaux" ou s'est-il placé spontanément devant le soleil pour que nous puissions admirer ce ciel magnifique?!!
Amicalement.

jafadabret (56501) 2010-12-22 6:23

Bonjour Denis,
Je ne sais pas pourquoi je n'ai eu droit qu'à la vignette mais déjà l'impression est fabuleuse. J'aime la silhouette du cheval sur ce ciel d'une beauté incroyable.
Amicalement
Jacques

chewy_candy674 (471) 2011-02-17 20:01

Wow Denis,
just peeked around your gallery and found your photos are awesome! U have a lot of great shots with well balance and excellent sharpness and colors.

I like this one also. Beautiful siluette, golden background, combine with blue sky. Altho I still dont think I am appropriate enough to give critiques to more senior photographers (because I am very newwwwww), but I really think u do great jobs.

Regards,
~ M

sydb (579) 2011-03-04 15:04

wow le jeu de lumière qui anime la silhouette de ce cheval est incroyable et le reflet du soleil sur la neige donne tous un spectacle le ciel est magnifique et le contraste des montagne en arrière plan donne un effet de profondeur très intéressant
