Captured those wild horses at 'Middelplaten', a nature preserve for waterbirds in the vicinity of Veere and the Lake of Veere (to be seen partly far in the distance) in Zeeland, The Netherlands. The grazing wild horses keep the vegetation short, necessary for the waterbirds. Hope you'll enjoy this image.

Had to do a hard copy for the niece. She wouldn't stop raving about the ponies. Masterfully done, Cornelius.

Saddle up, pardner. LOL. Very nice shot of these horses. I don't think any of them will ever be in the Kentucky Derby, but they are fine looking specimens all the same.

Absolutely love this one Cornelius, of course you know I love horses. Great colour and clarity and the framing sure adds a great touch to the already great composition.

I am sure Vincent loves this one :) It is a most unusual combination - the horses and the sails in the distace - and comjposed and presented with your usual expertise. The green frame is perfect.

All in a row moving along like a huge lawn-mower. Nice image Cornelius, and well presented with that frame.

Good shot C. They do look like they are well fed for being on the wild side. Are they protected in your country? Great photo with great presentation. It is your opportunity to relive your childhood C. All aboard. Have a good day.

A lovely shot Cornelius. Usually in folklore when all the animals do the same thing it means something, you know, if they all lie down it means it's going to rain. So, what's it mean when they stand in a line ,facing the same direction and eat??

Like this shot alot. I have to say I am not big on the framing as I find it a bit distracting. The composition is very good imo and while the manes appear o/e it does not hinder the quality of this image too much, again jmo.

Very cool the way the horses face the same direction and the white sails of boats tip the other way.
