PS=cropped, levels, shadows/highlight, dodge and burn, desaturated, reduce, save

Shot at Ventura Farms, Rupert Murdocks horse ranch, in Thousand Oaks, CA.

A 20x20 'double' net was rigged outside the doorway in the back ground.

If you look at the ground behind the model, you'll see a wavy line, that is the edge of the 20x20.

The long shadows of the horse and wrangler are from an 18Kw LTM HMI Fresnel lamp.

Have you noticed all the vertical lines in this image?

I don't know if the silhouette works for me in this image. Still, you controlled the light well.

That's a nice shot. If you adjusted your POV or moved horse and rider to the right as we see it, then it would help as the horse's silhouette wouldn't be obscured by the wall so much.
