I think back-lighting on hair is one of the most beautiful things you can do with light… I love how it catches the shape of the horse too
Fantastic!!

Brilliant. What a shot, Steve.
sfmilner replied
Greetings David; Thank you so much. At first, I processed this in black and white, but then tried selective coloring on the glowing edge. I think it worked out much better. The colors are very close to the color orginal.

Judging by the number of comments you shoulda won the challenge :o)
-certainly in my opinion.
SC in eyes is so overdone with both people and animals but to have an SC with the outline is very unique. Its like a sketch of the horse has been overlayed into the scene.A very well thought out and executed SC.
sfmilner replied 11 days ago
Greetings Gottheshot; I am flattered and humbled by your review and wonderful complements. I thought it would make it to the top spot, oh well. I too like this one, orginally done as a black and white, but went with the SC approach. This is the second image that I have completed in this process. Thank you for taking time to visit and comment as you have, I appreciate the awesome support.

Having another look: The front ear is just PRICELESS in its ultra recognisable shape and the little tuft of hair between the ears. Then to the part of the horses head where we imagine the eye to be: with its triangular line for the eye socket.
To have the back light to go round the whole shape in such an outline way is a real TREAT FOR THE EYES.
I have taken some of my best photos with a D40 – for a 6MP camera – the detail that it reproduces is astounding as seen here with your photo, Steve.

Greetings Gottheshot; Again, thank you for your support of this work, your review and thoughts are very uplifting and inspiring. I am humbled!!!
