Well, this has been an amazing week for me. Two blues in a row. Two PB's in a row (both over seven). I'm now officially ready for a string of sub-six entries.
Thank you to all who voted and commented. I'm really pleased with the outcome.
Although I believe I've been improving as a photographer since registering here in 2010, the majestic subject matter of these wonderful animals (and some really nice glass) makes this accomplishment easier than hunting down the perfect challenge content. It was a glorious morning at the Return to Freedom Wild Horse Sanctuary in Lompoc, California. An experience I'll never forget. Anyone traveling to Santa Barbara County (2 hours north of Los Angeles) needs to be sure this place in on their "must see" list.
gee whiz
this is really spectacular and is bound to score even better than your 'good' ribbon. i hope you will consider telling about your processing.
