Beautiful horse, well captured too! Don't tell me it's yours!

Nice horse, is it a gypsy vanner?

Thanks for the comments. No, it's not mine. There's a farm near us that breeds prize draft horses and this is one of them.

Why, author, I thought you were a rich person

HAHAHAHA I wish!!! People in my profession don't get rich (at least not honestly)

that is one of the most beautiful horses i've ever seen! I've had horses my whole life and have never seen one like that

Have you used an 'oil painting' filter over the image?

No, fallinghorse. No filter

Thanks Kyricom - I give in - did you use the clarity slider to achieve the painted effect? Looks like an oil painting that I could envision hanging on the wall.
