 I'm a city gal so borrowed stuff from my friend and took the picture in my front yard. I know this won't do well no wow factor and I'm sure the pp will be trashed if I get any comments at all. But my friend will like to have a copy of it and that's what counts to me. I also wanted to honor Sean.

Rosemary, the focus, lighting and clarity on this is excellent. Personally I think this should have scored higher. Too bad you didn't have a horse to borrow too hehe, maybe that would have made the voters more happy :)

That is a lot of very genuine looking cowboy equipment!

My first impression of this was: nice, clear, good detail, but it seems busy, and something is off. As I try to figure out what that something is, I am leaning toward the angle. I think it might have been more effective if you had gotten the camera lower and slightly to the left, had more of that rugged tree as background and less of the green ground cover. I think the lower point of view would have added a bit more depth and definition to the shot.

Lovely color and texture, but much too set up for my liking.

Very pretty color, detail, and sharpness in this shot. I'm not keen on the arrangement of your objects though. Still worth a 6 from me though

Too posed. Pity, because with all the props you just need a horse to toss the saddle and Navajo pad on, hang the hat and lariat from the horn, and have the boots facing backwards in the stirrups to signify that the rider has passed on.

Nice equipment type photo. Could be an ad for a tack shop. Seems overly busy to me with all of this "gear".
