Came back to see how - and you did well to create this image from the ground up. Well done. One could always wish for higher grade :) but it was fun anyway.
Lots of boots in this challenge! I like how you have placed them with a wooden fence in the background. The coiled rope is a nice touch. (sadly not a lariat but oh well!) Good choice on the b&w conversion but I am curious to see the color version for comparison sake.
