Perhaps there is a building behind the photographer, and behind the building a bright light, different from the intensity of the on-camera flash. I wonder whether the photographer, not understanding light fall off, tried to use some kind of barn door shade to block the flash from lighting the mountain, and instead it blocked the flash from the horses. A curves adjustment in Photoshop could have taken care of the entire problem. _________________ Emily L.
