Love the point of view and light...interesting how different regions of wild horses seem to have characteristics similar to the area. Though many farm animals make up the diversity of patterns, our horses seem to have buckskin as the deciding gene.

You nailed this one Joe and the spotlight is well and truly on the action! I can feel the tension, hear the piercing squeals and grunts as they come together kicking and biting, amidst the flying hooves and bared teeth! Fantastic intimate capture of the battle here. Well done!

That looks pretty serious! The light is gorgeous. I like the tight crop that zeros in on the action. A lot of intensity in this image, well done.
