Panoramic nominee

I spent three days in Utah photographing wild horses. They are difficult to approach and move fast. It was a dry period with the wind carrying sand and dust. For this photograph, I was facing the sun rising behind the hill. It was a perfect position for a photograph against the light that would better reveal the dust made by the galloping horses. For this photograph, the two males were fighting while the females were escaping.
