My dad has always been a cowboy at heart but never gets enough time in the saddle. We captured these today. Thanks for looking. Critiques are welcomed (still learning).

    Where' the horse???? :D These are very cool! I especially like #2. Re: #3...where were you shooting these (location) or are you using a background? The lighting looks peculiar.

    The first two are shot indoors. Third is in Dad's back yard with a 580EX flash camera right shot in manual mode intentionally stopping down the background.

    Thanks for the comments chopsky and saurora.

    I like the style of these photos. The lighting and PP work really set the right mood.
    C and C always welcome.

    #2 and #3 are exquisite. Great job on the lighting and the posing as well. You should tell your dad he's got a modeling career ahead of him. deal.gif

    Well done!
    Great idea (I am sure your dad had even more fun erm... well... shooting than you were - shooting him)

    I like #3 the most.

    #1 is a tiny bit overprocessed (for my taste)
    #2 is the most 'classy' and certainly well executed, but still less lively than the 'less technically perfect' #3.

    Great job!
