 This was an attempt at portraying a form of street scene in a wooded area. Using a fixed focus lens (85mm) and wide aperture (f2) I was trying to capture some nice bokeh when I noticed two shapes in the distance that looked like riders on horses. I waited for them but they never got closer nor further until the light changed. I put the whole thing down to an optical illusion.

I have admired this photo several times. This morning I found the riders and horses. I like your story.

The horses did not jump at me. I am left with a lovely little scene of girl and dog.

I really want to see the horses... but I'm struggling :-(

Don't know how to rate this -- I do see what appears to be two horseback riders coming toward the girl. Are they really that or just a play of light? It does matter, I think, for the challenge but either way they are not dominant enough in the image for a higher score from me.

But it really is two horses, isn't it? Now I'm confused. Really nice image btw.

Are you saying the two people on horses aren't really there? If not, that is pretty cool.
 10/05/2011 02:31:34 AM
I think I see one horse. ...so DNMC. :P j/k
