When I first looked at the images in this series, I half consciously "preferred" two and five because they are complete depictions, "neat", or concise, if you will, of easily recognizable parts of horse anatomy. My emotional response to the series of images from my first viewing was slight. Later I returned for another look, this time lingering for a few seconds to think about the introduction... a different time of day, a different frame of mind... Now I sense the feeling of the photographer toward these beings that she is attempting to convey.
It is much the same as when one glances at, say, the hand of a person with whom he has strong emotional or spiritual, if I may be allowed the use of the word here, bond. Just a hand, one that he has touched many times; one that has touched his own many times... the delicately tapered curve of a forefinger and thumb, the texture and soft translucence of the skin is suddenly something quite beautiful and special. Suddenly that lingering glance at something so very often seen causes a stirring within.
The image 1, my least favorite at first viewing, is now my favorite.
