 A local cowboy, Frank, on his blind Paso Fino stallion, whose name is Cowboy! They gave me some great rearing shots, but this one of Cowboy calling, one of the first shots I got, really conveyed a sense of waiting and menace.

Looks like the head's been removed in photoshop, and it's really blurry round shoulders. Other than that, great photo.

Great shot, and it brings back memories of being scared witless by this tale when I was a kid.

I hope this was done legally because this is a great shot. The only critism is the halo around the horse is a little distracting. Well done!

Looks like to remove the head, the swirling cloud went a bit overboard. :)
