This is what I wanted to put in Pets and Their People, but I thought it would get a DQ on the grounds of the vignette being a new feature. Without it there is background stuff which I didn't want.
I took the series of photos about 2 hours before rollover (which is 4 P.M here) and then had to drive home (20 minutes) feed my granddaughter a late lunch and then process, so I didn't have the time to fiddle around much, or even to explore the possibilities contained in all the shots.
I know last minute shooting isn't ideal, but I didn't have access to Alana before that time.
So sweet!! What a wonderful moment to capture. I'd hesitate about entering a shot where I'd obliterated the background with a vignette, too. But it works really, really well for the image.
Girls and their horses. Look at how such a little girl handles such a big beast. She has him by the reigns and looks in control! And the horse appears to be gently submitting to the tugs. Nice tone for the sepia and a good choice in processing. The heavy vignette will work to save on matting costs for the framed print! This totally should have been the choice to enter.
