Eyes of the Flaxen Pony
“This pretty pony kept me enthralled for a long time. His endearing face and sweet eyes were a delight to watch. Displaying an amusing curiosity, he kept me company for a long hour. He seemed to enjoy posing for me.
His luxurious flaxen mane an the coppery hue of the eyelashes are true natural beauties. His amber eyes reflect a kind spirit. With a friendly push of his velvety muzzle he asked me for carrots.
When I bade him good-bye, he swayed his graceful neck and flowing mane and happily trotted back to his red barn.”
Artist statement
My photographs are not enhanced; they represent the true nature and colours of the subjects as captured by the lens. I never lure my animated subjects to come close to me: spontaneity is the key.
This is an original uncropped image.
