    Wow the light shining in the mane looks fab!!!

  • Diane Swarts replied

    Cool glad you like it, it was shot into the morning sun, I was trying to get backlit, but I got this and I liked it but since it was overexposed in places tried the sepia and some texture, still not sure I like the finished product.

    The light is truly magical.

  • Diane Swarts replied

    Thanks, the light effect spurred me to do something to it that worked with the coloring and some texture, the original as is was a little too dark and contrasty.

    Lovely image! I love the back lighting here and the great action captured. My family lived in Grants Pass when I was born. I lived in Roseburg area for about 32 years. Nice to run across another Oregonian and one that loves horses too! :-)
