Mary Miller-Jordan of Kelly, N.C. Bob’s comments: “This is a great concept, but it would have been more enhanced if you used a telephoto lens instead of a wide-angle lens, and stuck the person [and horse] in the middle.” |
 |
Barry Henry of Louisiana Bob’s comments: “This is being in the right place at the right time and having a great camera. You can’t plan this picture.” |
 |
Lori Grimes of St. Cloud, Minn. Bob’s comments: “This is a great picture. I hope you didn’t get run over, as I see you used a wide-angle lens. The photo is sharp and has impact.” |
 |
Beth Wieland of Plano, Texas Bob’s comments: “I try to get this position myself when I’m taking mare and foal pictures. It takes a lot of patience. Well done.” |
 |
Brooke Hall of Columbus, Ohio Bob’s comments: “Great lighting, but the picture would have been better if the horse was coming toward the camera.” |
 |
Shannon Albert of Denison, Texas Bob’s comments: “This picture has a terrific ‘awww’ factor.” |
 |
Rebecca Mogielski of New Brighton, Pa. Bob’s comments: “I love the carrot as the snowman’s nose idea to get the shot. I might use it myself. Good use of the flash to get [proper] exposure.” |
 |
Lois Overton of Thetford Ctr., Vt. Bob’s comments: “This is a lovely picture. It’s the type I try to get. If only the sun had been shining.” |
 |
Kelly Kassander of Mequon, Wis. Bob’s comments: “This is a great reflection picture–very sharp and evenly balanced.” |
 |
Karen Smith of Church Hill, Tenn. Bob’s comments: “This is a very dramatic silhouette picture.” |
