Beautiful picture Mary ! I was not really sure if this was a person's face, or 'who's face in the small version...It could go either way >> which is pretty cool and makes for an interesting abstract , full of tenderness in the eyes ... It's so very unique and soft.
Lovely Mary,
Soo nicely done.
The Best to You ,Michele~

Another beautiful horse face detail, Mary. The strong contrast and highlights adds quite some realiy. In the thumbnail I saw a weathered human face and it takes me a moment to resolve the horse face in the enlarged version. It does have a human character.

Your want belive this, but when I first looked at this picture I though it was a man but I see it is a horse now, you said you didn't know why he was aboiding you, well maybe he didn't want his picture taken, ha,ha,. I love the angle of the picture, it is sharp, with great detail and clarity, excellent job. Mary I want to thank you for your sweet comment.

I don't ride horses either Mark! Just paint myself on them! Much safer! Certainly don't like heights that have you closed in- like planes- yuc!! And if SUV is high vehicles I see exactly what you mean! Anyhow, glad I got the horse and his wrinkles. I expect he'll be after mine next with his camera! Thanks Mark.

now this is starting to feel a lot like a human portrait of a horse's face. The lines above the eye, the way the hair even parts. A sense of concentration coming from him. Like it a lot. Reminds me of an older man with what almost feels like a slight receding hair line.
Thanks Mary, but I've never even ridden one.
Come to think of it maybe that's why I don't like SUV's the being up high thing.

Dear Mary
This red horse down the road is so beautiful and calm. I love the angle that makes it more expressive and fascinating to watch. I´m glad it hasn´t developed a taste for your hair yet:-))
The horse might have wrinkles, but it also has eyelashes that many women would die for:-)))
Sweet portrait, Mary.
Best wishes on a sunday,

it looks so simple but when I think about it I see it must be hard to find shot, watching a big horse and find some where to play with texture and lights all over hairs is not so simple I think, abstracts!
