Hiya! Took this last night, as the sun was setting and i just dont know about it.....this is the original version. No postwork other than cropping. Im leaning to this one but im not sure if i need to desature it....that would be the first time, LOL.

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

Wow!! That is a serious sunset you have there!! :-) Gorgeous shot with the horse almost in silhouette ..and the mist... ooooh. I Love the first one! I'm just a color color color kinda person. You could maybe tone it down just a weeeee tiny bit but not for me! :-) (((Hugggs))) and a vote for #1 ~ maggie

Love, Light and Laughter  ~ :-)

Thank you Maggie #:O) Yeah, like i said...i think ill go with the first one...slightly desaturated though. But i would love more opinions however.

The colors in the first one are incredible but the postwork in the second is also very interesting. My choice would be the third one ! :~)

"In Life, as in Photography, things look much brighter, once you remove the lens cap"

Prefer the first one - Those colours for where you live are natural and look realistic.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Awwwww... but it is a WONDERFUL picture!!! They are all great Andreas! I Love how your #3 turned out!!! And Jeroen's is so nice too of course...but very similar to your #3. I love this picture!!! I love horses and sunsets... sigh (I get impatient too...hehe) (((hugs))) ~ maggie

Love, Light and Laughter  ~ :-)

with a a doubt the dramatic first one is the prize..take my word and dont get sick of it hurry post it !!! IT IS A MASTERPIECE FULL STOP!

kimmers ♥ :O)

LOL!Didn't take too long to get sick of it,did it?Ooooh Andreas I hate to be the fly in the ointment,but I like the sepia one.The sky is outrageous and everything in the first one.And there is something to be said for it being the true photo.I also think the third is very pretty.It definately looks better to me once desaturated.But in all honesty,the sepia version is the one I find the most artistic and think it has a beautiful,soft atmosphere.The focus of this version is strictly the horse,which is what I like most about this pic.In the others the sky competes with it.Well,there's my two cents.Bet you're sorry you asked! :)

Why on earth did u desaturate this one??? O_o U're such a silly man sometimes!! That shot is a winner!!! Totally splendid!! #1 for me, with no hesitation whatsoever! Now, that said, I too like the sepia one for the same reasons Marlene's stated. It's so wonderfully moody! But to lose those colors is such a shame.....Oh man!! I'm sure I didn't help one bit on this one! Oh well! O_o

Andreas ... :) All of the above. No matter what picture you touch, and no matter what you do with them, they are all GORGEOUS! However .............. I truly loved the first one ... until you desaturated it some.. now #3 is my fav. BEAUTIFUL ... gorgeous work.

I would keep No.1. It's got the natural colouring of that sort of sunset. I think it looks great. the mist makes it. Just my pennies worth!!. Steve

Thanks gang, i so appriciate your input...ooooh ooooh, i know. I shall just try to get something in between 1 and 3 i think. Yup Yup, sounds like a plan to me. #:O)

LOL! Well actually this was taken around 11pm and not in the morning. And he never had to pose all that much either, this was the only shot i were able to take before his buddy blocked the view. Darn curious animals they are. #:O)
