The content is hilarious! Love this concept. The blue/black horse is brilliant in color. Extremely detailed in concept and nature. Well done.

A really nice one Daphne. I like the action shown in the scene and that horse is very high off the ground which immediately captures the eye. A great entry for the contest. Best of luck ~ Steve

So much action in this, I get breathless just looking at it! Great use of colour, and I love the positioning of the rider to create a focal point in the midst of everything that's going on.

When I first saw this picture I thought the diagonal fence rail looked like a giant unicorn horn coming out of the black horse. Now every time I see it I can't shake that impression. A striking image in a unique style. Best wishes in the contest.

    Funny that you should say That! I was wondering which way to lean the pole! I as you see it is actually not near the horse's head when you enlarge the picture, but I'll reflect the pole anyway... Thanks for the review, Daphne Oberon

This is way cool and different! Ill start with the sky. I love how you made it almost transparent with a light to dark ratio. The background is interesting with a few well drawn objects and a bird in the sky. Your horses are spot on and so well drawn. Then the fence is perfect with one pole down. Very clever Im a fan!

    Thank you very much!! I would not be doing this with a digital program except I injured my hands several times when working with horses. Digital compositions are difficult, but it seems to be working out so all is well that ends well! Thank you again, Daphne Oberon

Fantastic composition and story telling. So much going on but great fun to look at. Colour pallet excellent, creating a hot atmosphere but with clarity. Very clever digital work, its a mystery to me. Good luck in the composition .

    I thought I just replied to your lovely, very much appreciated review, but my reply must have gone into "bit heaven" because here it is again. Thank you very much for your generous review; digital work is difficult, but due to injuries to my hands it is the only way I can compose. I am glad it is working out! Thanks again, Daphne Oberon

    my pleasure.
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Another neat creation with dynamic compositional elements for a well thought out visual masterpiece!
Diminishing perspective brings us to the hills' edge--even beyond!

Vanishing viewpoint creates greater depth for a worthwhile visual journey...

Gorgeous illumination and Harmonious colors.

Crisp & clear outline.
Subject frozen between time & space.
Spectacular rendition with matching cute shadows.

Nicely framed.
Impeccable presentation!

Thanks for sharing...

    Okay I sent the smaller version. If you would like a large tiff it will be near 200 megabits! I would send through a service -- a bit complicated? Daphne Oberon

    Yes, I have a gmail account here in my iPad but I don't know how to initiate emailing. I only reply! LoL!

    There should be a button or box that says compose. Activate that button or box and it should give you fields that say To, Subject, and then offer you a text box to compose your message in. At the top or bottom you should see another button that says SEND... remembering my email is so easy; it is just my name, daphneoberon@gmail.com
