Incitatus Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Caligula doted on his horse Incitatus most of all. It had a retinue of eighteen servants. Its diet consisted of oats mixed with gold flake, as well as a variety of meats, including mice, squid, mussels, and chicken. Not to mention wine. According to Suetonius, the emperor saw to it that Incitatus lived in perfect luxury: "Besides a stall of marble, a manger of ivory, purple blankets and a collar of precious stones, he even gave this horse a house."

Hey Carmelo
Great capture of this horse. It looks like something straight out of a Frank Miller graphic novel. Good work. I Have a horse photo with a similar style, but taken in Seville. You might like to look at it if you like horses Milo.

Super shot Carmelo.
The sharpness is wonderful and the POV is very good. The light is soft yet highlights the the horses features very well.
Great shot
Have a good day.
