Dave,
First comment: Thank God your daughter takes after your lovely wife and not you in the looks department! <g> Seriously, she's a lovely young woman.
Okay, now the photo. Very, very strong photograph! I like the way the horse and your daughter are both looking the same way; nice symmetry there. I know you call it "Concentration", but the feel I get with it is a quiet confidence. She seems to absolutely know what she's doing, and seems very calm and deliberate about her next move. I really like the look: she's a pro!
The horse seems to have that same feel about it, which is pretty cool.
You know what? I didn't notice the tree growing out of her head until I read your text (I looked at the pic first). It's so nicely OOF that it really isn't noticeable - I know you notice it, but I think you're being overly critical of your own work. No problem at all with the tree from me.
What I did notice is the grey building or shack or whatever on the left. It's not a huge deal. Maybe not even a small deal, but it's about the only slight distraction I noticed, moreso than the tree. To me it would have been a little more pleasing to see that lovely green bokeh behind them on all sides.
But, like I said, only a teeny thing, that shack, and it doesn't take away from what I think is a wonderful photo.
Now, if only you could capture those moments for paying customers, eh?!? <vbg>
Sweet grab, Dave.
thanks, frank
