A nice find for the theme... and as the title patience needed. The photo is clean and very nice. GL

like the way the background underscores the subject

Nice catch! The sober colors give it an extra chilly effect, well done! Good luck!

Wonderful photo, did you get a chance to the aurora borealis while you were in Iceland?

Amazing photo!

Gorgeous photo and horse! Nicely composed.

Awesome!

wow. nice!

This is a WONDERFUL picture, but I'm not sure it's evidencing the wind. Any horse tossing its neck can look like that.

Next someone will be accusing the author of being on the horses back with a portable fan blowing the mane hither and yon !!!

Or maybe in front of the nag with a high powered, industrial strength vacuum cleaner.

Or the horses hair is stiffened by starch, per chance ??

Lovely color & clarity! DOF is beautiful!!

Very nice and deserved. Nice week for you!

Beautiful colors & textures.

Candles burn out awfully fast.
Lovely mood, just wish that is wasn't all out of focus.

So focus on the message and not the photo?

Perhaps someone does not follow my idea, but even when you are in love with someone is like the first time and flowers, wine, candles makes part of the magic moments. We can see that this happens every day with simple acts as a flower stolen from the backyard, a special dinner with candles. In my point of view the feelings of first love can be created every day when both are involved in keeping this love alive.
