 This is Victor, very nice man and fun to talk to. He is professional dancer and works in Hollywood, CA. All his tattoos are quotes from the bible. I met him while my wife was horseback riding and I was walking around looking for some photo opportunities.

I think I went overboard with the processing, but I had no choice because his face was too dark and I needed a lot of dodging to bring it up out of shadow.

Nice concept. The focus is sharpest on the horses, though, and the bright sun on his shirt is distracting.

I find this photo very compelling in that I want to know what his story is about. The guy is interesting in that he seems very happy, but I wonder what the story is behind the tattooed words on his chest up to his neck. The lower POV view is great/different. The person framed by the two horses adds to his "story." Great choice to go B&W. One of my few 10's and one of my favorites in this challenge. Hoping for this to ribbon. Please give us the story behind him in your notes.

I really like this picture. What is the writing on his neck? It's a little distracting, but not enough to take away from my score of 10. :)
