Description


A Mexican family, living in Texas, took part in a local parade and festival honoring the man in which the county was named after. I spent time talking with the father who was very proud of his family and their beautiful horses. He was very happy when I asked if I could photograph them. He told me: "Please take as many pictures as you would like".

Sigma 28 - 300 DG, Late morning, ISO 200, 1/250th @ f8.0, EV -1/2 Adjustments with PSCS2 (Denton Texas)

This is a nice pick from your choices Jeff, as we get the frontal horse and the side view of the rider's face. Colors of her dress and the backround compliment so well. Peace, karen #502791
