Ride on…. Ride on.

October 1, 2008 Elaine-


When the two girls were playing dolls in the playground, he would sit on the big rocking-horse, charging madly into space, with a frenzy that made the little girls peer at him uneasily. Wildly the horse careered, the waving dark hair of the boy tossed, his eyes had a strange glare in them. The little girls dared not speak to him.

    This horse looks well-used by a frenzied boy. I like your processing and the quote is also excellent.

    I really love your way with colors. I would have never thought that taking a picture of a horsy like this could be so beautiful! I love the vignet border and DOF.Stunning work sweetie!

    To me the whole shot gives off a feeling of bleakness and abandonment. And thats a good thing :). Fantastic processing on this.

    You have a wonderful way of putting words with your photos. This one holds a bit of things that too often go wrong on a playground. Presented very well.:-)

    you have a unique ability to take something that most would see as old and worn and uninteresting and make it look outstanding, such wonderful lighting highlights the colors and detail and the vignette is a nice touch
