How funny! I never saw a Barrel Racing saddle like that..... then I remembered you're an Aussie and the aussie saddle made sense! (actually makes more sense that our horned versions for that disclipline)

Interesting. Tricky to pull off with Basic Editing, I would imagine. But I like the dynamic feel of it.

This is a wonderful macro. I can't vote but I sure can leave comments. Maybe a bit of saturation would make this better.

Creative and well executed. I like how you've managed to convey motion to the viewer, bravo to a well thought and executed photo of two and three wheeled fun!!

great abstraction!
the colors and shapes are lovely. i have two suggestions that you can take or leave as you please:
- don't feel married to the 3x2 format of your camera. in this case, i think there's a bit at the top and a bit more at the bottom that could be cropped off. the seeds and the veins in the leaves are beautiful, but the top and bottom of the frame are nothing but blurred areas. possibly 5x7 or 4x3 would have suited you better.
- IMHO, the importance of capturing a full tonal range (in most cases) cannot be overstated. you have lovely gradients and lighting, but virtually no white. especially with a solid white border, the image itself winds up looking dark and underarticulated. for this picture, possibly some dodging on the light areas circling the seeds would have added a bit of welcome 'pop.'

good luck :)

Nice shot...love the horse's expression. Almost like it's saying "Hey, wake up!"

Comment by Brad:
My little Indians in the meantime had been drinking and didn't want to stand up...until I brought out the hot glue gun. That fixed them.
