Roslyn Lunetta
good job Horse Whisper, do you promise them sweet treats, do you drive a horse sweet trailer, the fact you get such clear photos, the feel from them to me shows they have accepted you, going to see if you have done a journal on your time with this “tribe” of beasts and if you have not well you should and if you have, thanks
VisionaryImagist
Gene: a great photograph. you have captured the moment perfectly. well done.
KatsEye
Are you the horse whisper? I agree with the previous comment. I would not have thought about it the way she did. They have accepted you. These are some awesome pictures. Some day I would like to do what you are doing. But I know my daughter will do it before me. She is at awe at what you are doing. Keep up the great work. Kathy
KatsEye
I just need to add about the horse in the middle. This is just wonderful. I love everything about this picture. I feel that I am right there watching. One of these horses stepped out of their boundries.

Birgitta
Did I see this at Soa?? (I can’t keep up wit it all..heh.)
It’s beyond amazing. Sometimes you hit that place in life..that one moment..
like a “crack in time” so to speak..and it allows you to barely capture something
so perfect…and then you know it’s gone. But you got the shot. ;)
This is it.
jotography
Such a stunning moment! Forceful, elegant and beautiful at the same time….....
Dan Shalloe
Just to see this is such a privilege – I’ve had horses for 12 years and have never been lucky enough to witness such a scene – and then to have the camera ready for a superb composition. Wow. I dream of one day taking a picture like this.

Pavlina
Wow absolutely beautiful
Eyal Nahmias
Well done. An excellent capture and great timing. The horse in the middle gives another wonderful balance and focus point to the comp. The blurred lighter BG helps to emphasize the stallions and the colors and details are great. Consider a slight crop at the bottom to remove some of the blurred bushes in the foreground or clone them out…
cfam
Perfection!!

This is gorgeous! We have a wild horse range near us but I have not been able to get there yet. I hope to see something as wild as this.
Astrida Plenty
This is such a wonderful piece of work – love it
garrityphotog
I am so excited that my copy of this print has been shipped and is on its way Geno! Everytime I look at it I am found holding my breath! How close do you get to these guys to get it so clear? I looked up our wild horse range here and it is only about five miles away (the opening part) from where I live now so I have not excuse but to make it up there soon.
Gene Praag replied
Thank You again Shannon! I was about 50 feet away from them on this shot. I just got a new lens for Christmas and went out to try it. Sometimes everything just falls into place. I can’t believe you only live 5 miles away from the wild horses. If they were that close to me, my family would never see me…LOL! I drive about 250 miles round trip everytime I go out to the horses but I sure enjoy the time I spend out there away from everything in the city. I hope to see pictures of your wild horses soon.
Stacy Rodriguez
Great capture, love it. Beautiful.:)
