Cemetery Horse

full view to see the graves reflected in her eye

this is my absolute favourite of the photos i took in Scotland, but already i know it not really going to get the feedback i really want : ( doesn't that always seem the way with us artists? the pieces we really love seem to get overshadowed on dA : ( so every comment and view will be highly appreciated, every is treasured


this beautiful silent mare approached me as i photographed the cemetery grounds, i don't know who she belonged to, but she was beautiful, and a perfect subject.

i loved how her mane was blowing in the wind, atmosphere.
i loved the reflection in her eyes, a secret revealed.
i loved the way the lighting picked up the highlights and textures across her body.

_{to isolate the graves in her eye so i used a 200mm telephoto lens on my canon 350d <3}

update : just reminded me;

<sub>...The kelpie is a supernatural shape-shifting water horse from Celtic folklore that is believed to haunt the rivers and lochs of Scotland... ...It was often described as a majestic white horse that would appear near rivers, particularly during foggy weather.... ...Anyone who climbed onto its back would not be able to get off again. The horse would then jump into the river, drowning the rider...
what do you think?
