Dark Horse
A horse standing just inside her barn looking out. I just happened to be passing by and photographed her. There was a foal laying on the ground beside her.

Rachel, this is so cool. It`s like it`s done with all the care and sentiment of a human portrait… and in fact, why not do a horse portrait in a human portrait style? They have been our steadfast companions for thousands of years, and some would argue that they are as beautiful as us. This is a stunningly original take and I think it`s fabulous. Nice work!
Rachel Leigh replied
I do not know how I missed this comment.. I am so sorry! Thank you for your lovely words. Someone asked me once if this was shot in a studio.. haha… I can’t imagine, but anyhow I think that is similar to what you are saying that it does have a human studio portrait look to it. It was purely accidental I must confess. a happy one for me. I am so glad you like it!
joak

Wildwings
What a stunning horse! Oh…so beautiful. This goes immediately into my cherished collection of favorites. I am almost finished with a 2009 cowboy/western art calendar. In it, I have an illustration of several wild mustangs from Nevada state. They are drinking water in the river.. If you add me to your watchlist, you’ll know when it’s uploaded to RedBubble. I hope that you enjoy viewing my portfolio as much as I enjoyed viewing yours. Wonderful work.
Rachel Leigh
Thank you, i will take a look at your portfolio of course. We are getting ready to leave for vacation for a week with no internet access so, I dont know when I will get to see your work but I wont forget about you. Thank you for your comment! Rachel

Birgitta
I’ve never been big on horses but this is bold, powerful work!
I love the dark, heavy gamma here. It really does make this.
Also, the way he (she? heh..) is coming out of the darkness.
Not the average horse shot! Wonderful and impressive work. :)
Rachel Leigh replied
Thank you Birgitta, it was one of my very first photographs. She was standing in her barn looking out so I stopped and took her photo. Thank you for your very kind comment!
