Hmmm, I didn't really have anything that fit the challenge too well. This is the best I have. So I expect a low score as it is mainly a DNMC. My technicals are also weak once again. Besides, I have to keep my average realistic. :)
Shot of my niece at the barn who is tremendously happy since she loves visiting/riding horses when she gets the chance.
Handheld at 1/20 of a second. ISO 200.
Post in Capture NX.
-Non Crop
-Bunch of Control Points
_B&W conversion
-Some curves adjustments
-High Pass filter + Unsharp mask
First time using HighPass, I'll see how it works out.

That's really good for being hand-held at 1/20. I like the lighting in the foreground and background. You captured a great smile - she does indeed look happy!
Very artistic, Jayson. I like the low-key aspect very much. I do think there is something too happy about her expression and stride to match the pensive mood, however.
The enthusiasm and the contrast is what I really like about this shot. I didn't think it fit the challenge very well, but I still like the picture a lot.
love this shot .. i was totally into horses when i was a teenager & i reckon i would'v looked just as happy and joyful when i was around horses as your niece does now .. :)
