Info Icelandic horse grazing near Storhofthi, Suðurland, Iceland. All by me, Poc o² 13:00, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Never shoot a cow or a horse while eating... The image is nice and the white horse gives a good contrast but a grazing horse is quite boring. If it was looking at you or would do something interesting, I think this could be a great shot. --Basotxerri (talk) 16:12, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support I wish it was sharper in the background but after all the subject is the horse, and I find grazing animals to very often be quite peaceful. Daniel Case (talk) 17:24, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Daniel, I was wondering whether I had violated a non-written (or maybe written, but unknown to me) law about not photographing animals while grazing. What is your source, Basotxerri? Poc o² 17:34, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Poco a poco: I think he may just be stating a personal preference. I can understand—I get the feeling that, like me, he lives in an area where it's very easy to go out and get shots of ruminating animals in pastures, so he may see this a lot—but I think it's really just a matter of taste.

@Poco a poco: Sorry if I stated it if it was some of the FPC guidelines. The reason is a bit like Daniel comments. Out here are a lot of free-roaming horses and the challenge is to get near and calling their attention anyway. --Basotxerri (talk) 18:32, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I think Basotxerri makes a good point. I also find the horse a bit too far to the right. -- Colin (talk) 19:38, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
