This was a 10 minute edit, while running my laptop out of battery juice sitting in the parking lot of and L&M store while my friends were shopping with an outside temperature of 0 degrees F. The original, (colorwise) is far from this finished product. I have been so busy finishing my college degree I have hardly taken any photos the last two months. This was one of them I took while in Ohio for Christmas and the original was pretty sloppy, lame, but I wanted to enter so I figured if I don't have a great photo, edit what I do have like crazy until it looks somewhat cool.

This is an adventurous photograph. When faced with a horse while holding a camera, it takes quite a lot of restraint to not take a sentimental or romantic photograph; horses are like that! So I admire this all the more for being instead a behind-the-scenes look at horses. Horses as a business, I think, rather than as an expensive personal indulgence. I could imagine this to be backstage at a riding school. The horses await their turn to go on stage (into the sunlight) and haul some sorry putz around the course. Again. Not a DPC-friendly image perhaps, but that's just another plus.
