Great title.. is the male watching over the female? Or is it the female watching over the male? It seems interchangeable.. Either way a loving wonderful inspiring photo. I want one, but cannot figure out how to get one.. Peace Ed Cole
Brin  They are both male and are always together like very good friends. You can buy a print on http://imagio.is/
Thanks a lot for your comment :-)

Pro style Brin. I remember seeing this image in a link before and was floored by its strength in composition. Polarizer
?.. wow, what it must be like to live and shoot in those conditions.
Brin  Thank you very much for your kind words Daniel :-) Yes, I used polarizer.

Brin,

Just been going through the nature pictures and found this, right at the top of pile of most popular nature pictures - deservedly so!

Deservedly so.

What a picture - what a point of view with the framing of the second horse and the colouring!

Masterful.

Brin,
This is the kind of pictures where I stop my page down button, halts and keep the image just to enjoy, wonder and start dreaming for a long time. You made it! But how? Can you share your secrets of lightning?
Øystein Bach
Brin  Øystein, thanks very much for your good comment, I'm glad you like it :-)
There is really no secret, it was lit very well up by the afternoon sun - so I didn't have to do very much in the post processing.

The Iceland horse does the flying pace at 30 miles in an hour. The blur of it's legs gave the look of 8 legs. They were thought to be a wonder breed, born from the Iceland god Loki and Svathilfari.
