    Re: Alison & Alex

    I think the composition is OK and the actual subject was worthy of a shot, but there's just too much clutter in there for me. Try some PP and see if you can make A &A stand out more, perhaps with some partial desat of the background.....

    Paul,

    Perhaps pulling back a bit would work better on this.

    I love the colours and detail in the horses.

    Actually I like it a lot. I agree that a different crop, shooting wide open or some burning might eliminate some of the detail but I don't mind the detail here.

    Which reminds me; we have a nicely restored carousel right down the street.......
    No, I DON'T need that.
