Part of the Horse Tour at Rancho Capomo in Las Palmas, Mexico. Near Puerto Vallarta, my sister Julie and her coworker Jenny decided to take this horse tour. It was my 19th wedding anniversary, and I left my husband back home with the girls and tackled my fear of heights.

I didn't think about swinging bridges when we signed up for the tour, there were 5 of them, and you had to cross on the way up to the waterfall, on foot, and then again on the way back to the horses.

The first bridge was the hardest, and my hands were shaking when I finally made it across. After that I became less and less afraid. I had forgotten about my fear of heights until tackling this first bridge.

The horse ride was wonderful, crisscrossing over a small river in the Sierra Madre mountains, then the hike, standing under a waterfall, then the ride back, up a mountain and then on some roads to get back to a wonderful lunch at the ranch.

Our tourguide Daniel was great as was the food, and of course the Tequila. All in all a great way to spend one's anniversary away from the spouse.

Hi Lori.. Nice Picture and great gift for life on Ur wedding Anniversary. Good U conquered Ur fear...
I like the mood of the photo...

Suggestions
------------
1) If there are many disturbing elements try to crop them or blur them.
2) U can keep the bridges in colour and convert the rest to b&w. It would add to the beauty.
3) Crop up a part of the Picture.
4) Try adding some saturation so that the colors come out.
5) Frame this one.

I will try to do a workshop on this one and post it soon... :)

Take care...
- Hima.
