This was my second choice for the challenge. My first choice was to shoot a Texas Longhorn with the hopes of capturing it in a nice looking landscape to compete against the sea of other landscape shots I expected would be in this challenge. Well when that failed I was stuck with this idea which I had for a while. I think this captures the spirit of Texas perfectly however, I don't think this has enough wow factor to do well.

Not a bad result given the incredibly stiff competition. Thanks everyone for the votes and comments. My average climbed over 6 for the first time. Woot. Btw, the print version isn't so heavily sharpened.

Yay for Texas! And who says it is scenery deprived (ooops I think that was me). . .but maybe no more :) This is awesome!!! I'm so glad it did well -- even tho I knew it would!
Excellent, and definately the way to go mate.....
A seven and on the front page as well.....
A great postcard, for a great DPC member..... Way to go "Outcasts".....
Nice find on the perspective on this one yanko, way to crack the top ten, this challenge was tough! And you got to the 6 average, I am right behind you. Congrats on the 7+.
This would make a great postcard! It would also have been a great photo for the perspective challenge. Though this statue is at least a block away from the capitol building, and of course, not nearly so tall, it looks like the cowboy is holding the hat over the building. I like the lighting on the hat and that you managed to have the statue and the building all so clearly in focus. Great shot! 10
Just began voting, and I like this cahllenge allready, I am so happy I did not enter any windmills or anything else for that matter.
How could I challenge with such great photo´s like these.
it's nice of that man to hold his hat up to keep that lady out of the rain. At this low res she feels a little soft - but I'm going to guess she's razor sharp in your original image.
Nice work, it looks like a postcard. If this is your original design, congrats on great work. If it's a copy of an existing postcard, good work there too.
