    :D Bradley is a beautiful horse Jack. An excellent image to give as a gift. Your Sis must have been delighted when she saw this picture thumb.gif
    Strong natural colors and very complimentary OOF BG. Sweet lighting for your subject. I get a pleasant sense of atmosphere in the location and feel of the day. Quite, calm, peaceful.

    While I may have been tempted to take some off the left and top to tighten things up a bit bringing the subject up in the picture just a wee more, nice subject details, I think I get why you left it alone that way.

    A handsome shot as is.

    Thanks for the very nice comments Michael. Sis had decided at age 73 that she might want to sell him and "retire" from riding. So we were taking some photos to use in advertising the sale. However by the end of the day she decided not to sell him after all even though she rides him less now.

    I did want his face kind of centered in portrait style. I am going to have it framed and give it to her for her birthday.
