stuny Posted June 16, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 16, 2009 Virgil - Though I like the composition and admire the mare's phiolosophical bent, I think the processing makes the scene too complex and harsh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted June 16, 2009 Thanks Stuart. That was my intent...complex,harsh and brutal. Marple was rescued from a life of decades of abuse. She still has PTSD. The gray around her muzzle is in the shape of a harness that was left in place for many years because she "could not be caught". Now she is the first to come, willingly. This is what makes her a great therapy equine (mini mule actually)---but it has taken years of rehab. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted June 16, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 16, 2009 Virgil - It must be very rewarding that she has become so socialized. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carylwithay Posted June 17, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 17, 2009 Nice horse but I would like the background to have a different texture than the horse for contrast. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsw Posted June 18, 2009 Share #10 Posted June 18, 2009 I actually like the way the textures of horse and background meld together; especially knowing the animal's history, so many abused and unloved animals invisible yet right before us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share #11 Posted June 18, 2009 Ivan, HSW--thank you. I think I will leave it as is for now:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted June 18, 2009 Share #12 Posted June 18, 2009 Virgil I agree with Stuart, in spite of being a nice composition, with this PP the picture goes too much toward a drawing IMO, loosing the photographic spirit. Maybe the harsh treatment and the partial decoloration are too much in the same image. But this is called experimenting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
