Description

Spent a few minutes in the studio yesterday while Hope was napping. I was experimenting with different lighting with my Speedlight. Then I applied some effects and cloned out parts of Rob's cowboy hat that I found distracting. A few other minor adjustments and this was the final result.

This looks great - I like the subtle colors of the stars and stripes - and the tack-sharp focus showing the details of the spurs. #10090253
