maybe not so good... "Horses Sweat, Men Perspire and Women Merely Glow..."

to town; Comments welcome..

I like this photo . good work

thanks for posting and for keep it color!... i like the photo. why you use that wide black frame?

Alon - your very kind, thanks.

Jose - i think the frame gives a classic look to a 'Victorian' image, BUT i do get criticism of my black borders so i think maybe you have a valid point :) Thanks for both taking the time to comment. cheers, Duncan

This is unusual and the textures in the fur really merit a closer look. I like what you have tried to achieve showing this but overall the photo has ended up looking a bit too busy (and therefore diminishing your main subject, which for me is the central zone at the bottom where the strap is rubbing the fur). Don't be afraid of tight cropping!

 

PS if you'd like any tips on the frame of my Sandbag photo - just email me. The frame is terribly easy to do!

Dominique; thanks i really appreciate the critique; now at last i think i see why this photo doesn't really work; rather than adding depth, the top right is just distracting, making the sweat & fur seem squashed in the corner when really it was the subject of the photo. thank you! regards, dsb :)
