[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Only in Vermont..:o) Its downtown, Main Street Stowe, Vermont. Traffic everywhere (which I'll show you in other post one day) And these horses are riding right down the street with the traffic, well believe me I have taken my horse down through main street in the past but I never stopped at the bank to make a deposit or take out a loan... :o) One of the guys riding asked my daughter if she would hold his horse while he went in to do some banking..of course she was more than happy to..( I have another photo of that too..:o) There were alot of people milling around photographing the horses so I figure..hey, why not? This little boy was trying to find anything he could to give this horse a bite to eat, he'ld pick up anything he found ont he ground..:o) The horse was very patient with him..Big horse too!
I did nothing to this photo, just cropped it, resized and add a border and title.

Thanks for visitng my gallery and thanks so much for your comments too! :o)

Creative perspective and rich colors. There's a little too much shadow on the horse and perhaps you could have sharpened the image on Photoshop, but the idea is good and the facial expression on the woman is great. TFS!

Nice shot, a bit dark though. you lose some details on the horse.
Love the expression on the lady's face and the kid ust have been pretty scared also. By his stance, doesn't look to sure of himself.
I did a WS for you.
TFS.

So pretty image. I don't think though horses should ride in the city. It is bad for their legs as much as I know...

Very patient horse indeed. Nicely captured Donna!

Excellent compo and colours. Very nice. Charming atmosphere.
TFS,
Andreea

Hi Donna,
Nice scene with the little boy feeding the horse. Great colours and wonderful composition. Pierre already made a remark regarding the brightness which need some improvement so this shot becomes even better. The WS of Pierre is perfect. So together we will succeed! Nice job and TFS my dear Donna.

:) Later...

As promised...

I have not seen a horse in the city here YET Donna. It must be the only Australian city without a mounted police force. A big draft horse?. lovely shot, good colour and nicely cropped and Pierre's workshop certainly brings out the detail. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Pierre's’

Hello Donna!

Cute moment captured here! I do not want to spoil the good points made by my colleagues. I think here you should have choose another POV on this one.
Why ?
1) If you note behind the young mother, a tree seems to come out of her head. When we take outdoor portraits, we have to take special care about this detail.
2) I know you did not do any PP here. But you could have easily corrected the horizon.
3) A few steps on your right around your subject would have allow to have the horse right of the young boy; giving a better view and visibility of the horse in the sunlight , avoiding the tree behind the lady, and get also the expression and hand of the young boy.
4) Optional the vertical shot , to get the rider also , as I can imagine his(her) expression was good too (^_^). But it is OK this way too.

I hope you will find these little details useful.
Your friend North of the border ( from Vermont ) or North East of the border from Ontario (^_^).
Cheers !
Robert
