Description
I love taking horse pictures and it's even better when they show some of their distinct personalities. These were two different pictures taken on the same day. I combined them and added several layers of clouds, textures and other enhancements. I get a hoot every time I look at these Arabian mares making faces like people do when they take selfies, thus the title. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed putting it together. These pictures were taken in the Texas panhandle.
A selfie is a self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often shared on social networking services such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. They are usually flattering and made to appear casual. Most selfies are taken with a camera held at arm's length or pointed at a mirror, rather than by using a self-timer.

I know, I'm back so soon. Seeing these girls, I keep thinking back to how aware these horses are of their beauty from the time they are born. prancing and floating above the ground with their tails high in the air like a short plume. Ears perked forward, head high, and eyes making sure you are following their every move. This work proves it follows through their whole life. Personification Arabian.

Love the expression! They seem a little haughty! But, it is to be expected, Arabians are a little smarter than your average horse! :) Besides that, they are mares!
Karen Slagle replied:
Thank you Susan, you are so correct...Arabians are haughty and smart and some of that comes from being mares...Gotta love those Arabs.
