Work Horse

[asnow]

MM I love your photo of the work horse in "Once .... in former days" Its a beautiful animal. It reminded me of a photo of a work horse I got at Pioneer Village a couple of weeks ago.

I quite like this. You captured the white on the clyde without clipping, so well done! I like the angle and the way the horse/wagon come from the left and the framing of the tree.

I like the comp here and the tones and the whole scene. good sharpness on the horse as well!

Well done I have to admit thought that my first thought when I saw this was the song "Amish Paradise" by Weird Al Yankovic.

Thanks Bambi, Marko and Iggy. When I first took this picture and saw it in colour I didn't think much of it. But after seeing MM's B&W of his work horse I thought I'd try mine in B&W. It seems to have worked. I guess sometimes you find a diamond in the rough.

That's a very nice composition and the sepia treatment works very well with it. Looks really like in former days!

Sometimes it's enough to polish just an old stone a little bit ;-).
