A Dartmoor Pony in profile
Makin' good progress, only a couple more to do from this photo shoot...
Not quite suspicious but definitely a cautious glance. These ponies are semi-wild and run free on Dartmoor. To the surprise of many visitors, they're not timid at all, though feeding them is strictly forbidden, as it encourages them onto the roads when they see cars, increasing the chances of accidents.
In this shot, taken during the thaw from the recent snows, as well as the cute profile, I wanted to capture the shagginess of the winter coat and its textures.
Actually, I think the next one due out of the digital darkroom will really do their coats justice. You can be the judge when I post it here in the next couple of days.
comments / critique / feedback always welcome :)
Stumble It!
Hmmm... what's be happenin' here?

Lovely shot Mark. He's gorgeous
Thanks Dors, I just caught your comment as I was about to close down for bed. I hope all's well with my girl from downunder!
I really like this photo ... not just the shaggy winter coat, but the interesting background also. Look forward to seeing the next ones :o)
Looks a bit shaggy to me Mark,lol.
Brill shot, look forward to seeing the next one.
I love it!. The shagginess of the winter coat has been beautifully captured!
Aww, you're all such lovely folks - thanks for the kind comments. I've now posted the next pony pic as promised.
@Betty: I see your blog is as inspirational as usual :) There's always something there to get you thinking... which I like!
