Cowboy Up (To The Bar)

Plenty of atmosphere here...my mind conjures up a couple of gunslingers.. Really nice job on the processing!

Love this!! So full of mood and athmosphere.I traveled around California to find places like this, and took some photographs, unfortunately not as many as I hade hope for. A car accident close to the Yosemite litteraly chrashed our vacation.
Back to YOU: Very interesting, arty pieces with a touch of impressionism. I felt an immediat connection to the pics, It´s the kind a like, the kind I often try to do myself.
Possibly I will put in some pics here, if it´s not shut down.

I love a little blur here and there, it adds to the mood of an image. Here it gives a nostalgic feel that is ideal for the subject.

I like the softness of the photo. Funny, at first glance I thought somebody forgot to leave saddles outside.

Yes,the post processing does give it a nostalgic,dreamy feel Jenene.
Those saddles look fun to sit on too. ;)

Yes, the processing definitely gives this nostalgic feel. Why is that? Because we expect the old images to look that way? Maybe.

Yes, Jenene, this has such a storybook quality, as if I'm making an imaginary journey Out West and it is exactly what I wanted it to be.

My kind of place! I love the focus and the treatment! Excellent! Would look great in any restaurant in Texas! Well done! V

Love the atmosphere and treatment of this image,Jenene.I expect those saddle stools buck you off if you have one too many!V

An incongruous pair of seats -- very much Arizona, or at least the tourists view of Arizona. The whole image seems to be trembling, as if we were all on horseback at the moment.
