Colorful Portrait
I love the feeling of the photo .. it seems like a dramatic baroque painting which would have not been possible with any other lighting than we had at this moment. It creates a vivid depth and adds a surreal reality to the scene that I can hardly put into words … and somehow I can almost hear her tail swooshing around … can you, too?

entry description
All I can remember from this day is that even though we’ve been on the top of a dune in the desert of Rajasthan it felt more like a topical jungle. The air was sticky and the sun disappeared to hide behind some dark clouds early in the afternoon. I was a bit sad since I wished for golden photos in magical backlighting with the white Marwari horse moving while being surrounded by flying sand - but then again, life pad something different in mind. Gladly we noticed the colourful halter of Marwari mare Pari that brought some vibrant brightness into the greyish frame.I love the feeling of the photo .. it seems like a dramatic baroque painting which would have not been possible with any other lighting than we had at this moment.
