"Ready To Ride"

We often stay in our RV on "McDonald's Ranch's" property while we attend the Arizona Fine Art Expo, in Scottsdale, Arizona I've walked past this saddle many times during our stay, and with each passing I'd notice the contouring lines; the horizontal fence rail, the vertical straps and the curvature of the saddle. I wanted to take a photo of it however the lighting was always poor (the sun was too low in the horizon and there was a building blocking its rays). So, I waited patiently until this February day, when the sun was high enough in the horizon to strike the saddle with its warm rays. You'll notice that I chose to not shoot the entire saddle, choosing instead to fill the frame with the saddle itself. Then, in post processing, because the sky was soft and white, I chose to continue that by adding a white vignette around the remainder of the image. This shot would look great in a reclaimed wooden frame!
