Wonderful composition on these--FWIW, the high point of my wife's trip to Scotland was the Clydesdales at Pollock House. (Having spent a lot of my youth being kicked and bitten by various ill-tempered farm horses, I had to to demur, but they are magnificent beasties, no doubt.)

Thanks very much, my "Special Lady” (SMC Pentax-A 50mm F1.2) strikes again. Its just a joy to use and can produce such stunning results, you ought to see the original file of this shot for IQ. I know the EXIF says 55mm but trust me I don't own one of those, manual cock up, on start up when setting length for SR.
