New Conformation Photos

Competitive Edge is a balanced fellow. A nice looking horse.

Daredevil is....hubbah.

He looks more like a nice warmblood stallion than a racehorse. Plus, holy liver chestnut, Batman.

WOW, yes Daredevil is gorgeous!

Competitive Edge is a bit high-rumped for my tastes, and his chest doesn't have great depth.
Khozan is nice-looking; Daredevil is one hunky chunk. That conformation photo could have Quarterhorse mares beating a path to his door.

I don't like Daredevil's feet. That's all. The rest of him is *drools*

Wow, he's quite stunning.

I don't think Medaglia d'Oro has ever sired a homely horse, and his sons all seem to be equine versions of Next Top Model finalists.

Is he just taking more time to get more of a "Stallion" look or what? Winstar usually does a nice job on photos. In watching him on the cams, he is happy as a clam .

Wowza. As an interesting side note, Devil His Due has a full sister named Daredevil.

He's got a very 'classic' Thoroughbred look, it that makes any sense. Though his right rear pastern looks a bit wonky at this angle

The photo looks like it's been manipulated. And any time I suspect that a horse's body has been outlined in order to adjust/change the background, it makes me wonder if what I'm seeing is the real shape of the legs or feet.

I don't think there's any major editing with the Adelaide photo.

This is a thoroughbred. A bit over at the knee, but damn if he doesn't look like the quintessential thoroughbred. Tall, racy. And that shoulder is droolworthy.

I have to agree with BA here. At the very least, they've edited in grass where he's standing as it's very fake looking. He was standing on some other type of ground.

The entire photo is edited look at where his forehead pops from the leaves/tree branches as well.

It almost looks like he was photographed in front of a green screen.

It's called "bokeh."
