[Leica] eye to eye

[abridge at gmail.com (Adam Bridge)]

Hi Doug,

Technically I love this image - but it doesn't TALK to me. I had to
really ponder what I was seeing - horse? cow? Maybe I'm just slow on
the up-take tonight but for this guy there's a missing piece of
context - maybe more of the eye or something to a layman that
identifies this as a horse.

So, for me it isn't complete although I admire it.
