This shot is moving. It's like a cross between a Norman Rockwell and Charles M. Russell. Your composition is great. #2291072

Jennifer, Kerby, Pat, Michelle and Dennis...thank you so much for your wondeful comments. I never saw a little guy work so hard to be grown up. Someday he will be riding with the big guys. I love shooting the western themes, it's in my blood. Be safe...

Thank you so much. I studied other galleries and discovered how to do the outside framing affect. Thank you again. Be safe... #2291881

Crystal - This is a very nice and moving photo. Beyond the technical excellence of the photo itself, you have done a great job at using the imagery to further create the feeling and theme you desired. To my thinking, by leaving the background and everything else except the boy in sepia tone you have strengthened the feel of the two different realms. There is the boy in the "current now" and then there is what he sees (the sepia toned hopes and dreams) that make up his wishes for "tomorrow" You've done an excellent job at evoking the mood and feeling of this "snapshot in time" What a great shot! #2292024

Mike,
Thank you...You saw through what I was trying to do...it means a lot to me. I've had this photo for a wee bit of time and it's haunted me, trying to get the right "look" about it. I believe I've suceeded. Thank you so very much. Be safe..
