Look at that head! WOW! It almost looks 3D! Totally upside down too!!! I have never seen a preening image as original as this one, Sister Kiki!You truly know how to capture the height of emotion and/or action. It's a gift!
I thought of you in Banff last week as we watched the horse teams pulling carriages and wagons around the city. I thought to myself, "You know, if Kirsten were here she'd know if the horses were happy and well or not!" :)
Great job!
