Standin'

Photo Details
Beth Registered: May 2010 Posts: 1,601	I went to a rodeo Thursday night. They're a lot of fun to watch, but it can be pretty hard to get any kind of decent photos up the the stands! I was taking pictures, and the one thing that caught my eye was this group of cowboys, all standing at the end looking on. So, I took probably twenty photos, but this one turned out the best. I desaturated, and added a bit of the grunge look...just a bit. I love the way they are all standing different ways. It makes it more interesting.

This looks like an advert for jeans Smile

I think I would crop some of the bottom (sand) away and make it like a pano shot.
It's kinda interesting...and makes me smile, as it's intriguing to see that (whilst we speak the same language) we are very different from a psycho-cultural perspective.

I quite like the grungy effect here...it works with this subject/approach.

Well done, Beth! I really like this. The post effects are perfect IMO. The place that I would crop is that graphic on the right side of the shot, or better yet, clone it out.

Thanks, Kev! I rather like it too. Cropping would probably be a good idea. I'll do that.

Thanks Clem! Yep, I'll do that too Smile

WOW!! Those buckles would look great on my Bianchi belt. Interesting picture, Beth.

Oh I think I'm hearing Lynyrd Skynyrd singing "Gimme Three Steps" on the background...
