Wildlife/Animals nominee

This intimate equine close-up possesses a very real landscape aura.
A form of landscape that will eternally remain one of the most beautiful views on my horizon. The entire image is wrapped in a soft sense of peace and comely tranquility. A grittier contrasting speckled mountainous foreground adds earthy textures lending the entire image a sense of place and connection to nature.
