    Bronze in Nature / Pets

I have spent many years photographing horses and have published two books on equine photography. This particular photograph captures a young Lithuanian Heavy Draft stallion on an early summer morning. The serene morning light gently illuminates the powerful physique and graceful demeanor of this majestic animal, showcasing the beauty and strength of the Lithuanian Heavy Draft breed. Through this image, I aim to convey not just the physical attributes, but also the spirit and character of these remarkable horses.
