This photo was taken by my close friend Rick Bricker of Beaumont. Rick started into photography a few years ago with a point and shoot and with his interest growing ended up with a digital SLR. He has went through one and now is on his second... His favorite lens is his Canon 100-400L. You should check his galleries out, I know you will find them interesting. He is well traveled.. His wife Helen has opened up a framing business... Wow.....that's great Ron.Thanks so much for the plug..The jockey in this shot is Shannon Beauregard.I think she should have this framed and on her wall!
You can see his work at http://www.pbase.com/rickbricker/working_in_topaz
I feel he deserves some credit for his work...
I did this photo creation for him with photoshop cs4 and topaz.
