This shot was probably one of the most difficult that I took during my 2005 visit to the Kentucky Horse Park. I failed to see the Legends exhibition at its showing time, so I was forced to visit these horsey greats through the TINY mesh wiring of their stall doors. Cigar himself spent several moments nuzzling me through about an inch of space and I managed to kiss his soft nose before something caught his attention out his stall window. Luckily enough for me, I was able to jam my lens through the mesh just enough to catch this shot without the obscurity of metal all in the way.
he is gorgeous, altho probably sick of constant visitors. sounds like you really had a moment with him. i like the richness of the dark areas in the photo and the shapes from the pose are magnificent.
He was SUCH a sweet heart. I really, really wish I'd gotten the chance to actually touch him more than just smashing my face against the stall grate to kiss his nose...
Can you believe that I didn't even have to alter anything in this shot? (Well... besides the addition of his name and all.) It just happened to turn out just like that. Pretty magical, if I do say so myself.
A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
In this article you will find many thumbnails of the sun in different forms, all photography featured here by the club feature-me. Please show your support for these artists and their work and the article so that more people can see their work.
