This last shot is very dramatic, I like it.

A friendly free range horse where we go mountain biking.

But, I think there is too much vignetting at corners. This shot asks for it, but you don't want to reveal that you've added afterwards. I might try to tone it done just a bit, so it doesn't reveal itself.
But all in all, it's a beautiful shot. :)

Thanks for the kind words! The vignetting was the background & lens, the light center in the background is a patch of sand with darker dirt around it. The lens is a sonnar rangefinder design from ~1950 or so that Nikon briefly carried into their SLR mount. Wide open and near mfd exaggerates the vignetting too. I wish the other horse wasn't in the background though, he is distracting.

Natural vignetting from the Nikkor 5.8cm 1.4 wide open.

Incredible crispness and detail!
This just solely down to the camera, or do you reckon the air quality played a big factor in the shots quality??

Doc - I think the shot (which I agree is fabulous!) is one of Sury's? At least, when you click through it goes to Sury's Flickr account.
