Wading Wild Horses

Another one from my 'shoebox', as I captured those wading wild horses in March, 2008 in the nature preserve 'Middelplaten, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

'Middelplaten' was laying in the past at the sea side of the sea-bank and was flooded by the sea every time at high tide.

The sea has become an artifical lake with some small islands now, which is called 'Lake of Veere', so 'Middelplaten' stays dry now at high tide.

In the distance you can see the former sea-bank, and behind this sea-bank a small part of the peninsula North Beveland.

Hope you'll enjou this image and thank you in advance for any comment.

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...

Beautiful, Cornelius, a very nice shot. The horses are in sharp focus and I can even see the port and starboard buoys in the channel very clearly. The sky behind also looks wonderful!

Cornelius, volgens mij heb jij hier een andere lucht opgezet,
want het strookt m.i niet helemaal met de rest, o.a prachtige
diepblauwe kleuren van het water! (beetje on-corneliusaans)...lol
Mooie post!

A lovely image Cornelius. You've captured the horses wonderfully and I'm impressed greatly by the sky in the background.

We don't have any wild horses at the wildlife preserves around here, but I wish we did. I don't think I could have gotten as beautiful a shot as this, though. What great color, and what a great scene. Everything is gorgeous. My compliments, Mr. C.

This looks like a beautiful painting - a true artist's eye you have to produce such a balanced and pleasing composition Cornelius.

A beautiful shot with wonderful color and I like the way the background just sort of fades away to draw emphasis to the foreground. Planned or unplanned, it makes for a very lovely composition.

Really topnotch. Hope you and yours have a great week.

This photo is alive with colour!!! Absolutely gorgeous. Between the beauty of the horses and the wonderful farms in the background, plus that awesome sky, well, you couldn't have done any better, This is just magnificent Mr. C !!We have horses in our pasture that belong to other people, and it's a pure pleasure to watch them. So this photo I just love!!! Verena

I saw this come across today as one of the perms SEA. I can see why it was awarded the Permanent Gallery.
Amazing how many people were around to comment back then.
At least two of them have passed away and I'm not sure on some others. May they R.I.P.
