My most recent trip produced a great opportunity with one of the most
handsome Stallions at the South Steens in Oregon. After hiking for a good
distance to photograph another band--this Stallion and his band appeared
on the ridge....The light was as good as I could ask for.

I can see you had oof fg vegetation to contend with but still would like more room for his legs and feet. As presented he appears rather foreshortened/short legged to me, a shame as the light is gorgeous and he certainly is a fine looking stallion!

Love the regal stance and the setting, Terry. It just seems a tad underexposed on the whole?

Re-edit.... Added room at the bottom-cloned out the OOF sage and brightened about one stop.

Thanks All.

Now you're talking! You can see his full potential now Terry, and see what a beauty he is.

Nice shot. This fellow looks to have a bit of an attitude... just as a dominate stallion should. Well done.
