I was driving around exploring Snæfellsjökull National Park and I spotted these two friendly horses in a field after a snowstorm, so I snapped a few photos.

Gorgeous! Love the juxtaposition of the two. (Thanks for reminding me I have Icelandic horse pics of my own to still edit...)
Thank you! They were so friendly and seemed to love each other, hence the closeness of the two horses. I was very happy though to get this shot :)
Awesome shot. Wish I lived somewhere where I could get shots like this. I think it could be improved a bit if you brought up the contrast on the white horse. I wish I could see more detail in it.
Hi thanks Nathan! The shot was sort of rushed because I didn't want to miss the moment but I agree there are somethings I would love to make different about the photo. It was pretty much white out and the close to sunset
You can just select the white horse in lightroom with a selective adjustment brush and boost the contrast or blacks.
Yeah I know I can do that, but also at the end of the day I think it also comes down to personal preference and style :)
Thanks Isley. Very cute. I think I would be looking to not crop them quite so close.You may not have had time to think about that as they would have been moving their heads around.I once photographed a wedding party with two police horses forming a guard of honour.I got one shot with their heads in the right position. Not bad as I was shooting film and did not have much time to do it.On the other hand they might have been standing close to each other to keep warm.
Thank you. I actually did get another wider shot but there heads weren't perfectly together like this in the other shot sadly :(
You still captured the moment and will always remember it. Perfection is mostly elusive.
very true
