Wet Ride III, a photo from Akko, Northern

Photographer's Note

This is the third photo of this series, and the one I love best.
Taken in Akko (Acre). Akko is a very old city in the north of Israel, on the Mediterenean coast.
I am not sure that the horse likes the salty water, but it was a very hot day, and both the rider and the horse enjoyed the cold bath.
PP- almost none. Cropped, adjusted levels and framed.

This has good comedy value, a very unusual scene! well composed, its good there is no horizon here. well done.

Yes, another one, very good, refreshing and very well composed. I think I would have tried a particular crop on this one, putting the nose of the horse at top left and much negative space until bottom right. Just a personal whim, it's excellent as it is and I like it very much. Fine shot Yitzhak.

Akka in Arabic:-)
Une très bonne composition marina - équestre parfaitement cadrée.
Je constate que le cheval n'a pas de selle car le sel de mer déteriore le cuir.

Akka in Arabic: -) A very good marina/equestrian composition perfectly tallied. I note that the horse does not have a saddle because the marine salt damages leather.

Another nice one in this series, Yitzhak. The postures of both horse and rider look quite dynamic and the splashing wave of water does the rest. Good color setting, too.

Very nice capture of the horse movement in the water.
Maybe the image is a little bit overeposed but it is beautiful.
Thanks for sharing!

L'instantané est parfait ici Yitzhak, il est plein de vie. La composition donne une sensation de vitesse. L'homme et le cheval ne forment qu'un !
Très belle réalisation Yitzhak

ChrisJ (171222) 2004-07-17 3:30

Well composed.

et c'est reparti pour un tour , trop comique de voir cette façon de faire du cheval,on distingue bien la force du cheval et la maitrise du cavalier, qui tente de rester droit sur sa monture, un jeu d'equilibre pas très facile à vrai dire...belle capture...bravo....amities BI

C'est effectivement la photo de la série la plus dynamique, la plus fougueuse ! j'aime beaucoup les attitudes du cavalier qui tient bon sur le dos du cheval et celle du cheval qui tourne la tête. bien vu

Great Yitzak,

I like this series.

Well done

Great photograph again Yitzhak, very good, refreshing and very well composed. I think I would have tried a particular crop on this one, putting the nose of the horse at top left. Well done!

Rockyboy (20598) 2004-07-17 17:09

Again a very good shot of one of those horse in the water. Exposition of the light is very good here and I like to see the head of the horse! Well captured!

An excellent picture, nice colors and sharp.
welldone.

i missed this series of posts, but i love them all... very pleasant subject to shoot and quite a refreshing one;-) not that it is still very warm in Europe now at the beginning of the fall season... great series indeed...

efimoore (2126) 2004-10-08 2:04

Interesting way for cooling off on a hot day. Nice composition. With the gentle waves and the movement in the water. You captured them in a good pose!
Also I like that the rider is with the back to us, leaves it more masteries…

Hi Yitzhak - long time since I comment on your fine shots - too bad - busy elsewhere mostly.

A fine action shot from your little series and also good theme as well - I like the moment you captured even the horse seems a little stressed.
