Funny thing is, guess what lens I used? Big prime, latest zoom? Nope, raggy old 24-105.

Hi Mick, your Horse shots are about as amazing as Gary Samples Eagle shots, I have to say some of the Best I've seen, the previous one you posted some time back of all the horses charging straight at you was just stunning, the first one in this set also, stunning.

Do you mind saying where you shot these, I'm assuming the US somewhere, I'm looking to come that way 2014 to shoot Gary's Eagles, this Lake would be a starter as well.

Thanks everyone. They were taken in southern France in the Camargue region. I was really happy and the old lens did a great job. Sure the newer new got a few more keepers but it shows you the old lens are still excellent.

Lovely pictures!

As to littlewildcat's submission, personally, I prefer this end of a horse - less danger of being kicked.

Going by the superb images you posted here, I think you will win the competition ... Good luck & all the very best ... in the words of Bryan Peterson "till then You Keep Shooting".

Very nice B&W. I especially like the second one.

Yes very nice. Haven't been back to visit this thread in awhile. Can't wait for the temperatures to be a little bit cooler to get back out and photograph the wild horses near me. Hopefully before the BLM decides to round up the three herds that are just down the road from me. Some of the stupid neighbors are saying some of the horses have been a nuisance and have complained to BLM. The whole community is in an uproar and BLM will prevail and do what ever they want to!!!!
