Photographers Comment
Thank you Inga for your nice comment and the Mark of excellence. I feel honored to receive this award. My Name is Friederike and I come from Germany (Essen). Horse photography has been my passion for several years. The picture shows the 9-years old PRE stallion called „Aquiles“. He is very beautiful and has a strong and friendly character. The photo was taken in a gravel pond. To achieve the low angle, I walked deeply into the water. This was a (worthwhile) challenge with the heavy camera equipment and the water current :) The photo reflects one of the best moments of the shooting. I especially like that Aquiles seems to enjoy his slow and quiet walk through the water. I decided to convert the picture into a black and white photo because this style enhances the atmosphere. I worked with my beloved 1Dx and the 70-200mm 2,8. Exifs: Manual mode, ISO 200, f4,0, 200mm and 1/1250. The picture was edited by LR.
