Holy COW Jeff. You sure have a FAN BASE. It took 25 minutes to scroll to the bottom here. Good thing I can still remember what your image was of! HA!This is a terrific shot of a caring moment between a man and his horse. I am glad you told us about the long horn being further away than we thought. Looks like that cowboy is about to get nudged right over! :D
Great job!
