This is the horse and buggy of an Amish woman selling hand woven baskets and homemade butter on the side of the road. Sorry for the tree being in the way but this was one of the best shots that I could get without climbing over the fence and scaring the horse.
I did some sharpening and sepia toned in PS. I also cloned out a light pole that was in the background. I thought it took away from the mood of this shot.
Super shot, Green. Your DOF works great, with the focus on the fence yet leaving blurry detail in the background. The rusty fence reaffirms the old history the mind sees in the soft horse and buggy. kes
This really works for me, GG! I think you did an excellent job with the toning and the fact that the focus is on the fence and the horse and buggy are out of focus really add to the mood of the shot. Sort of an era photo giving the idea that the horse and buggy are from long ago. Nicely done!
