The Long Gaze West

Thanks...

A nice classic pose, very well presented... Would be timeless without the pen and bungee... Good shot... Mike

 

 

pleasant shot. don't you wish you had a sky with nice puffy white clouds, though!

I like it except the bungee cord, pen and the building to the far left. Just a little distracting. But, the image got my attention. You've got some fresh ideas not posted on the gallery. Keep it up!

It's not a bungee: the end of his lariat is wrapped with green string, then an orange end fabric, for a grip. This sixteen-year-old has been making a living with horse and rope since he was eight years old.

Perfect shot!

Tim... I stand corrected, thanks. This remains a wonderful character shot... Mike

 

 

 

Thanks, Mike. Since the image will be included with an article of mine in Western Horseman magazine, I cleaned up the "bungee" (and bit of building), since it seemed likely that a lot of magazine viewers would make the same assumption. So, the comments here led, as they so often do, to a likely improvement in the image. Thanks.

Beautiful composition,great details.

 

Regards(Bobby).

A grand shot with a dramatic pose and great management of color.
