portrait of a friend and her horse

i took a series of a good friend, and my riding instructor, on one of her horses shortly after she found out he had cancer....

taken with an epson photopc 3100, but don't have any other information on this computer.

I like the shot Laurie, I think the story behind it makes it more poignant.
Maybe a bit more image to the right of the horse's head would be a little better, if your original is larger. The same picture with a much wider field of view might work as well.
I hope everything works out for your friend.

thanks, eric, i do have many other shots from that day and could add some space. this is the one i framed for her.

actually, the horse is no longer with us, but he left himself a reputation, he was quite a challenge, and she was quite up to it.
