What a cool composition, Suzanne! Were they posing for you? The more shallow depth that shows us the cows in the background just adds so nicely.

23 Jan 2009 5:26am

@bluechameleon: This shot was entirely candid. Don't think they ever noticed that I was photographing them.

Marcah from Quincy, United States

This is excellent. Love the cowboy way here inspecting,it seems, the quality of the grass for grazing.

23 Jan 2009 5:35am

@Marcah: Most likely they were merely sharing some secret. ;o)

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

Excellent detail and composition. They almost look like they are dancing in time.

Your shots involving the working cowboys are great. I love Jay Maisel; he is a no b.s. kind of guy.

pict from France

it looks like authentic old West !... are you a such old photographer ? :))

23 Jan 2009 3:50pm

Don from spokane, United States

I like how these two wranglers are hunkered down each scrutinizing a piece of grass...or something.
They make a fine subject. The cows and fencing make a fine backdrop. Nice one.

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States

Another brilliant image. The toning you have chosen for this ranch series works so very well. I like this series a lot.

23 Jan 2009 4:17pm

Marcie from United States

Love the processing..but more - I love the composition - the two wranglers squatting in the same position..and the contrasting white of their hats. Wonderful ranching image!

23 Jan 2009 5:11pm

Diane Schuller from Hythe, Canada

I really like these two wranglers. You've inspired me to pull out some of my photos of our local farmers -- some have such similarity. Again your choice of processing really adds to the atmosphere. I have so many images already set to automatically come up in my blog but I definitely will pull a few of my farmer and cowboy photos out and begin plugging a few in. I'll try to remember to give you a heads up when they're coming up -- these are truly wonderful photos.

Nacho from Salem, OR, United States

I definitely like that contrast with the hats, and the dry grass. Also nice evocative pose/position. Thanks Suzanne!
