Hi linda - I love the vignetting here, I think it works well with the composition and the subject matter....dunno why, maybe some sort of traditional/days-gone-by feel to the whole scene. Gives me a nagging thought that b/w or sepia may also work...but sadly no time to do a w/s :-)

The thoughtful/tired expression of the girl is also appealling. Interesting and thought-provoking shot, Linda.

Well done.

Hi Linda

Natural looking color with good sharpness & framing. The girl does look a bit lethargic from the heat. The red reins & blue shirt contrast well. Good contrast & sharpness. Tfs!

Hi Linda,
Both, girl and horse, are in their own deep thoughts!
Excellent capture of their expression. Your excellent PP work enhanced the mood of this scene! Beautifully done! Annie

Hi Linda,

I like the mood and colour you have created here, again very reminiscent of older film (remember that stuff!) especially with your vignette effect.

This has such a nice soft look and feel to it, helps convey the feeling of restfulness or tiredness better than a tack sharp interpretation would have done.
The warm colors look inviting and the vignette adds a personal and private touch to the image.
(also, feels really good on a day here in NY with a chilly Nor'Easter blowing around)
Very nice work, great POV and capture.

Nice use of the vignetting Linda, it seems to add a spotlight on the hooves and the girl. Good colour and an excellent crop. TFS,

Oh! I love horses!!! I really like this girls expression, a portrait full of mood. She does look like a cowgirl at the end of a hard day :) TFS

Hi Linda:
Its a wonderful & true expression of a hard day work that you have captured well.
I like the Vignette that you have used here that makes the image stand out more:)

Hi Linda,
A shot I'm so familiar with after having horses almost all my life....she looks so far away in thought, her horse working on getting her attention:o) Love the shot Linda! TFS

Hello, Linda,
Excellent scene, very well framed, I like this typical Texas scene, very impressive--a young girl and its devoted horse....Nice colors and vignette effect.

TFS,
