I always try to get good photos, - you know, well centred, correctly proportioned , good lighting, interesting subject, etc.
Well I actually like some of my outtakes - the ones that don't have all the horse in the photo, or something is just a little off. Like these:
In this one. Kai's ears are cut off- but it helps to focus on his beautiful eye.
In this next one, I was focused on Kai, on the left, as he galloped away, when Rio ran into the picture, resulting in only half the photo in focus.
Here I was panning along with Josie and Rio as they were goofing around, I like the angle Josie is on as it makes her look like she is just "dropping in". I could have cropped it from the withers forward, but decided to leave it as is.
In this one, I was trying to focus on Tess as she watched the horses, but instead got the grass in focus- an interesting oops!
This photo, I was trying to get Josie and Kai in full flight; I like the stretched out photos, but in this one they are all tight and goofy- but it does express their personalities. Grab a mouthful of grass, and dance around being silly!
Had to add in one more that I took early this morning. This is Beamer's girlfriend who was enjoying the early morning rays- darned if she didn't close her eyes just as I snapped the photo- but it adds to the sleepy morning vibe.

Even your bad pictures look like they should be in magazines and calendars! You're an awesome photographer Shirley!
All beautiful. I'm sad you didn't get an open eye shot of that pretty mare against the red wood background. Would have been perfect!
Love the shot of Kai, even if his ears are cropped out! :)
I too love that one of Kai, very nice, could crop it a little more so it looks like you meant it that way. And the Grey, she just seems relaxed, pretty cool.
I have a hard time sorting, picking & choosing which photos are keepers. Glad you shared these, I like them all!
Love the one of Kai...He does have a beautiful eye. And the one with Beamers girlfriend. Eyes closed, resting foot..Nice
Cheri
Particularly love the light and feel of the one of the grey mare. Looks like a watercolour.
Even mistakes make great pics, love the Rio photobomb, what a ham.. :-))
