Thanks Connie. Really appreciate you looking in again.
Paul Lindenberg

Wow, what a lot of comments! This image is really super – and I agree with your email as to what constitutes a viewable, popular image. Technically, I also have shots which are blurred and generally not ‘good’, but, with a bit of photo shop and the wonders of digital, something can be rescued.
Al Bourassa in reply to Paul Lindenberg’s comment

Glad you like this one Paul. It isn’t perfect by any stretch but a little technique made it definitely more pleasing. Thanks again.

Excellent timing, great job Al. My daddy was a real cowboy. He rode the rails when he was young and ended up herding cattle in Texas. After he met my mother, they moved to California where he worked his way up from ranch hand to foreman of the ranch where I grew up. I love horses. xxxxx

Great action shot Al, love it.
Al Bourassa in reply to Larry Trupp’s comment, 28 days ago

You are not alone in liking this shot since I re-did it. So far it has the most views of all.
Rosina Lamberti, 17 days ago

This is a beautiful image.
Al Bourassa in reply to Rosina Lamberti’s comment, 17 days ago

It is surprising that the full color version only got about 29 views…. This remake is presently my most viewed artwork, but is in immediate danger of being surpassed by two recent works. Glad you like it.
