Little Bighorn fantasy...

Beautiful, creative pictures!

Comments like that keep a novice trying. Thanks again.

I wanted to take this picture up because the beautiful form of the horse appears well on the grey background

Initially my feelings were that this was not a good photo. I have been surprised. Thanks for your comment. ~Sky

I love this! It looks like a pictograph...(except of course that the horse is a lot better!) What did you do to it to achieve this effect?

Well I hate to give away my secrets... and here's why: (whispering) it was an accident. I took it from an elevated location and it was almost dark. When I zoomed in, I suppose the light was depleted much like when using cheap binoculars in low light conditions and trying to see anything. The actual photo was black. I couldn't even remember the horse was in it. With PS. I made an adjustment to the contrast and low and behold a horse appeared and the way it was standing and the color, it just reminded me of something from some Indian conflict. I really didn't even think it was that good. I've been surprised that it brought so much attention. I just liked the look myself and was so surprised to find the horse under the black image that I posted it. Thanks for you and the others who have helped me realize that it was a good decision not to delete it.

Ah, those accidents! I can relate to that. I'm glad you kept it; I love it.

This is fantastic Sky! Beautifully simple, amazingly textured, powerfully subtle. I love everything about it!

I am very appreciative of your comment. This was a photo I felt least likely to post and everyone has convinced me of its worth. Thank you. ~Sky

Often I hear myself saying, it's impossible to turn a bad picture into a good picture, hmmm...Usually I think it's true, but not this time. This is amazing, I love it !

This photo has been such a surprise to me. I really have been appreciative of all of the positive feedback on this one. ...and to think this one came seconds from being deleted. Thanks again & Happy Easter.

 

Best regards, ~Sky

 

Sky, I love this image. Like seeing a horse through the mist, or a painting from the past done on stone. Happy Holiday. Denise

I appreciate that Denise. This was a late evening shot and very dusky outside. I couldn't even see my horse in the orignal because it was so dark. He came forth after some editing and has become a photo I enjoy very much. Thanks for taking time to comment. You have a nice holiday also. ~Sky
