I think this is a really nice shot. I love the lighting, and that you see just enough of his right eye. However, it doesn't really say "new" to me without the title.

I agree with Kate. While I love the photo, it is totally dependent on the title for theme.

Kate and PedalGirl: Thanks for the positive remarks...and the comments about the title. You are absolutely correct of course...I'm just trying to shoehorn something in I suppose. I don't have much time to take photographs, so when I caught one that seemed pretty good as I was taking pictures of my son during his lesson, I thought I'd give it a try! It was the morning anyway...
Angevin1, I was rather amazed by the lighting also...so glad the shot turned out, because my model wasn't about to hold her pose and the light was fleeting!
Ah well...unless I can think of some way for this to be new or old, I'm probably out of luck! (There was a great moment in the barn I missed...the grizzled old ranch hand working with the new colt...my focus was off. Shoot!)

It would say Morning or New easier if that Sun was rising just behind the horse...then you'd only need about a 100w to capture the portrait.
