The eye of the....


..horse.

Not quite the same ring as that soft rock Survivor classic.

Another image from the Burghley Horse trials. Got quite close to this one horse, and used the long lens to get right into the eye. The observant among you will see our little group, with K and A on the right, in the eye itself. Nice detail and a nice expression on the eye (and a clean eye too, I'm told by the horse expert = good/rare). I left in the bit of strap to give context.

Can't get enough of those horse pictures! Ya!

I do find the bridle a bit distracting, though...

Nice shot Ivan but i agree with Colin re. the bridle. any good in in mono?

I agree with those above, the bridle is distracting since one does not know what it is.

It's on a horse.
It's made of leather.
It's on the horses head.
It's a bridle.

And you clearly knew what it was too!!!

it looks odd...better to see the other edge of the bridle (which would work well) or just leave the bloody thing out...

Challenge: who has the photoshop skills to take this image and remove the bridle seamlessly...?
