Wow, thanks all! Looks like I work better under pressure
Love the deer....jealous of all you guys who see deer as although I'm in a rural area we don't get to see them often around here
The pony one has to be my favourite lovely focus and such a beautful calm expression on that face....lovely!!!
I do love living where I do, and I know I'm really lucky. 10 minutes one way to the New forest and in the other, the beach! Sometimes I forget about it as it's always there but when I go away I really miss it!
He was a really calm horse, most of them wander away when you get too close but this one slowly wandered towards me and nudged me with his snout after some attention, (or more likely food
)
Thanks for the comments...
That's a nice set of shot's for quad (shame you couldn't sneak in another to get quad in two ways).
It's a nice treatment of your horsey friend the dof is great on it but I would like to have seen either all or a bit less of his/her ears this crop seems to be slightly inbetween, still a nice shot though
That's a cracking shot of your dog, as Sonia says warm and well framed as well as being a beautiful dog, very, very good
Thanks Rudders, I didn't even think about getting a quad of quads, that would have made much more sense!
I cropped the horse tightly on purpose as I wanted all the focus on the horses face
I suppose I'm a bit biased as it's my dog but I think he's beautiful too. He does play on it sometimes and seems to get anyone to stroke him!
Horse: Snap!!!! Again, you got better weather than I did. I shot mine near the Ornamental Drive - Puttles Bridge area, so probably a bit far for her to have wandered from Picket Post, but it's amazing how alike they look. That's a good shot, too, and I like the little dark tuft between her eyes.

Now that's one area I've not been to yet, the Ornamental Drive area as it's a fair drive with no main access from the A31. I do keep meaning to go to the deer sanctuary as well but haven't got round to it. Is it a nice area for photos?
Thanks for you comments
Attractive images and the last one of the dog is gorgeous. He looks as if he is trying to say "I'll take the photo while you jump over the log!"
Almost spot on, he's actually saying, 'if you think I'm jumping over that log you can bugger off, however I'll be happy to just lean here and pose for you for a while...' He has got an ability to be in the middle of most of the photos I take!
All three are great shots but I think my favourite is the horse - the black and white works really well and you have captured 'a really nice fellow' expression
Thanks, he really was the most placid New Forest horse I've ever met...He even stood and had a sniff of my dog rather than move away like the others do
Now that's a lesson I can really sympathise with
There's something special about all 3 of these, although I'm leaning towards the horse as my favourite.
After seeing jean's shot this week, I obviously have a thing about B&W horse images.
But I think the thing that stands out in this one for me is the way that you've filled the frame. While the other 2 are very good shots, the main subject is just a little more distant and doesn't quite have the same impact as the horse shot.
Thanks Sarah, that's exactly what I was going for, I'm really glad you like it!
Now this is what I call a late entry to the 52's
The Poerty is an interesting concept although the secound with the lighting through the heart shape now makes me think of a fighter plane with the afterburners on
The second Chemistry shot works a lot better.
Love the Play shot of the empty swing
3 great animal shots, but as a dog person thats the winner ......just
Thanks Scott, only 10 weeks late
I've been trying to catch up a bit but want to get nice shots not just ones for the sake of catching up if you know what I mean...
Thanks for commenting, it's great to hear any comments, it really helps!
