Description
I was coming home from the store and saw these two black horses on a hill watching the traffic, stomping flies and swishing their tails. I carry a point and shoot camera in the car and came to a screeching halt thinking I could make a picture out of these two.
The sky that summer day was blue and bald so I added some clouds from my files. I thought it needed a bird so I also added the hawk image from my files. I also layered a texture to give the image dimension and an artistic feel.
I love horses and taking their pictures and I hope you enjoy the results of my work. The horse image, cloud image and hawk image were taken in the Texas panhandle.

They look like they were asking for some Cool Water. Or a nice breeze. Gorgeous capture.

Thank you Debbie. The flies were buzzing all around their eyes and ears. It was awful and I felt bad their owner didn't care enough to put Spray on them.
