Horses playing in the golden hour light of an autumn evening

Golden autumn evenings offer some of the best light for outdoor photography. The low sun wraps the landscape in warm tones of gold and copper, creating a perfect atmosphere for portraits and nature shots. On this particular evening, the light filtered through birch leaves and reflected beautifully on the coats of two horses playing on a forest path. I also took a calmer portrait of a single horse, but the dynamic frame with two horses captured the energy and emotion of the season perfectly.
