marty you asked a very good question. I never know if I should enter it in people or animal. I think I entered it in people but it didn't do anything there. Are you allowed to put it in two catagories? I've entered several in animal this time with people in them. #2284100

Congratulations, Melanie. It is a very nice portrait. It may be a strange observation, but I think the woman's skin tones and the horse's coloring compliment each other.

Nice job,

Description

This awas out of a portrait session. The woman adores her horse. I love the freedom of her expression, and I like how the tree limb diagnal echos that of the horse's head. The portrait itself was pretty straightforward, minor color adjustment. Fast shutter.
