Good Morning Leslie - I am happy to see a close up portrait of the travelling man with his beloved horse. I love the way you have captured the relationship between the two, the horses muzzle looks velvety soft and quite kissable. A really charming image that is a joy to see. I do so love your rural images. Have a lovely week ahead. Rosemary

Dear Les

A beautiful, very moving scene you captured between man and horse. I love the tight framing and the vivid colours. You've achieved a superb definition and how brave you were to get so close to such a large animal.

Big hugs to you and G

Hi Les,

This was a tough call, so many great images to choose from in your gallery! :) I'm generally not drawn towards pictures featuring animals, but this was just too good to pass by, what a neat shot! There certainly feels to be a bond between these two, and your idea to go in tight with the framing really accentuates the emotion. A wonderful moment captured, and executed so well from behind the lens. Impressive image, thanks for sharing the moment. Have a great day ahead.

All the best,

Jason
