COLOR! Wounderful detail! The dust adds depth and interest. The sun behind her is important. I do question the crop.   Posted: 05/10/2023 11:25:37

I really like the softness of this image Linda. The cowgirl on her steed kicking up dust with the glow of the setting sun in the background makes a wonderful image. You have exposed this image just right, in my opinion. I like the fact that I can see the woman and she in not in complete silhouette. The dust swirling around her horse and the surrounding brush tell us a great story. The soft, warm tones are very appealing. As for your crop--at first I felt the left should be cropped out showing just the rider and the sun. Then I looked at Marks version and realized all three work and the view you are showing us does tell the whole story. It has nice symmetry with a sunset lighting the scene. Nice image.   Posted: 05/18/2023 17:00:13

I really like this image. The low angle and dust absolutely create a mood that is perfect for this scene. I also like the pano presentation. It helps convey the motion. I was contemplating the crop before I scrolled down and saw Mark and Bruce's suggestions. The rider shouldn't be dead center in the frame. I wasn't sure which side should be trimmed, but I agree with Mark's solution here. The sun on the right side pairs nicely with the visual weight of the darkness in the right side of the image. Plus, it feels like the rider is going to pass through that side of the frame. The warm colors create a fantastic feeling, and the way the sky fades into the blue is very calming. Nice job, Linda!   Posted: 05/26/2023 07:32:13
