A chestnut stallion from the wild herd I follow at the Sand Wash Basin in Northwestern Colorado on the run to a nearby water hole with his band. Nikon D750 - Sigma 150-600 @ 360mm, f7.1, ISO250, 1/800 sec. Post through LR 5 with some enhancement through ON1 Effects, though I don't recall specifically what filters I used.

I am not sure what is going on with the horse in the front and the "glare" off its hindquarter.

Nice shot with the perfect depth of field, good exposure (minus previous glare) I like the stop of motion in the tail and mane.

I'm not sure why the hind quarters looks like that. The horse in the background is part of what is a group of at least 6 horses all converging on a water hole about a mile down the road. The stallion in the front is moving past the horse in the background. - The next frame in this series has this stallion by itself, I should have posted that one instead. The horse in the background does add a bit of clutter to the image. Thanks for the feedback!
