Oh yes, this is excellent. I just read something on using surrounding items to naturally frame your shot. This is a perfect example. I like the expression and colors of the horse and of course the view out to the water. I just realized, is that a mirror. Well now you have also given us an illusion. Great shot!

@Barbara: I swear I didn't do it on purpose LOL, it's great that the Fair is located at the Marina, you can get some pretty outstanding backgrounds, thanks so much Barbara ;) and yes it's a mirror...now that I did on purpose lol
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Another great shot Lorraine. If I were those horses I would be looking out that little window at the water, but then they are probably dizzy from going round and round.

@Marion: They love to fly in the wind with little jets of water occasionally spraying on them, or little swimmers butt that come back all wet...or not lol thanks so much Marion ;)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

Qu'est-ce qu'ils voient les chevaux, à travers ce beau cadre naturel, pour que ça les fasse tant rire ? :-))
