Just excellent work Mark. Really interesting in style with the silhouetted figures. I wondered if this was going to be a Brokeback Mountain moment?!

Comment from Anne


Wow, no red in this. Not even a hint of a red flower in all that grass. I like the way you have the riders in this I like the way you see their reflections in the water. I like the way you have the greens and the clouds in the sky. I think this would have been better if you adjusted the height of the hill. When you look at it now it is almost a big green triangle behind the riders. I see the horse has a bit in this one.

Great image, and a wonderful work for the contest. Very simple but very good, with lots of story in the picture. Nice work on the reflection in the water. Good clarity in your style and technique that is so good! That sky just compliments the whole image. A pleasure to view!

Comment from LorrainePurviance


cool I like this it is really different, the sky and the black riders is a puzzle, but it works and it is almost like the reflections are reversed and the standing riders are the shadows from the reflection...
