Wonderful duotones here and excellent contrast! Composition is very interesting as well as I love the softness of the saddle as compared with the hard rock and wood in the background. DOF is also very good and I like the way the background is only slightly blurred to help isolate the subject, but not enough to totally obscure it Only the distraction in the lower left hand corner mars this photo, but not by much. 9
This is a really good set up location for this shot. It makes me feel like i'm out in the barn somewhere in the country. Fantastic sharpness and the greyscale tones work really really well with this picture. The only thing that i don't like is the blurry bottom left corner, is is distracting and looks like a mistake.
I believe it is a "saddle"..
LOL
nice tones.. could use a bit sharper focus. I am not sure of what the diagonal blur is on the bottom left corner. it is distracting.
I'm sure you're already being notified about the spelling... but it's a nice shot. I would have tried to get rid of the blob on the bottom left corner, though.
