Thank you to all who commented on my first entry here at the forum! Your thoughts were instructive and inspiring, and I hope to be able to return the favor for each of you.
The saddle was retired from the Morgan Horse farm in Middlebury, Vt and kept in a dusty hot (!) junk tack room illuminated with one window, which fortunately had a roll down shade.
I turned the EV way down which helped bring out the contrast and rich color. |

| The classic "barn" lighting adds authenticity to this shot and really sets the mood. Well done. |

| The shadow across the saddle makes it hard to distinguish it. The rope seems to be the highlight of the photo. |

| Excellent color and texture. I feel that it needs more lighting on the left hand side of the picture but given that, this should be good enough to frame and hang up somewhere. |

| I would have rated higher if the right (side) lighting wasn't as bright (maybe this would have been better as a monochrome?). I miss the view of the full saddle. |

| Nice pic! Great subject and nice arrangement. I would have wiped the saddle down. |

| Exceptionally well done. Darker background with the foreground bright rope gives this a rustic, western feeling. Beautiful image. |

| Very nice. I really like the strong lighting on the ropes and front of the saddle, but to make it even better I would have added another light (from the left) lightly illuminating the upper part of the pic. |

| This is beautiful. Love the colors and textures. At first I thought I'd like to see it somewhat lighter, but changed my mind. A subdued richness matches the title perfectly. |

| The colors in this picture are terrific! The texture on the rope is excellent. How I wish the lighting reflected onto the beautiful saddle. I still give it an 8 |

| I love this photograph! I love the rich warm color and the "feel" of the smooth leather and the rough rope. This is beautiful. I don't like it for "tools" though |

| This is great, and I'm glad you decided to keep it in color. The lighting is great, and the contrast between the leather(?) and the rope is nice. The only one negative is the harsh shadow that seems to fall directly down the middle and cut the saddle into half, I think it loses some flow there. Perhaps moving a little to your left may have helped that. Overal it's a great image, and certainly stands out as being different for this challenge. |

This is a wonderful shot. I would personally love to try and shoot this bad boy with my pro light. Wonder what kind of dramatic effect I could produce.
