single photos Move 'Em Out

Cattle drive re-enactment on the Great Western Trail.

Beautiful, David, looks like a post card. Great composition and contrast!

Overall, terrific tones, contrast, and composition. I'd crop the guy at the right of frame. Also, branches at top center and right don't really frame photo and are rather distracting.

Wonderful shot! Nice in B&W!

very beautiful 7/7

Very good picture.

7/7

I like it very much. Great atmospher. 6/7 Regards.

I like the shot. I would like even better without the branches on the top and the rider on right.

lovely tonality, but agree with the others regarding the branches and the rider. Regards!

Beautiful work!!

Very nice

Really like all the texure in this shot. Your angle and composition puts the viewer "there". Excellent image.

Thank God - 7.7

 

What would be perfect? If the far right rear cowpoke's horse were not cropped and if we could see just a tiny bit more of the tree above the photographer's head - would just make the use of branches as framing component a little more solid / nevertheless / this is truly an excellent photograph. Very well done!

Dandy of am image you got there. Congrats. cc

David,

 

Having done alot of cowboy photography I offer My Very Sincere Compliments on your excellent photo.

The photo would become a treasured keepsake for this cowboy and a modern history reminding one of days gone by.

This is a pleasure to view and learn from, Thank You!

The great west mood. Composition and light are fantastic. Perfect!

Splendid light, tones, composition

Excellent photo and great composition also !

did you already sell the pic to malboro???:-))))

Very surreal - probably just how it looked in the old days ! 7/7

I have to agree that there is a lot to like about this photo. To me the framing and the cropped rider make perfect sense from an impressionistic point of view. I think the photo would be rather static without the action moving into the frame on the right as well as moving out on the left. I am also thinking that without those branches in the top of the frame the shadows on the primary subject would leave us wondering where they came from. You could make an argument that the horizon is too centered but try taking action photos like this some time and you will realize that this is a very strong photograph.

 

There does appear to be some compression artifacts or sharpening noise in this version but I will bet a print looks really good. Very nice work for sure and to the American audience especially iconic thanks to beer and tobacco advertizing.

Fantastic image. I love the clouds and the position of the horse and rider.

First class !! Nice clouds.Beautiful horse . My compliments

Makes me want to got out west Texas again. Just came back from a roadtrip out there.
