Running Stallion (Click to enlarge)

This fella was a guy we met out in rural Covington, Louisiana where a miniature stallion can run as free as the wind.  He is a beauty and we enjoyed our visit with him and his herd of mini pasture-mates on a cold but bright winter day in 2008.  His showing off for the camera a mere five feet him was exciting.  If a full sized stallion was buzzing me like this I would have felt in danger, but this full sized ego was just compelling, not dangerous.

I’ve spoken of enhancements to photographs in pasts posts.  I chose to apply filters to layers and masks on this one as I thought it added interesting texture to an already shaggy winter coat.  I’d love to go back in mid summer when he would be sleek and svelte.
