Here's my last horse "old photo" for this theme. Like the others, this was a Civil War reenactment horse. I had posted the color version of this a while ago here (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?p=215506#post215506). Besides converting to sepia, I added bit of a vignette, added some noise, and applied an overlay layer. Any C&C are welcome!

Christopher, Some things don't need color to look beautiful and this is one of them! I like the old look you achieved and the pose with the eye contact is great!Well done.

Hi Christopher, I like the subjects pose and the sepia effect. I would have left a bit more room on the left.

Agreed about the room with Dave. Otherwise it is perfect. Lovely rendition of an old image. :)

Thanks guys! I agree it could use more room to the left, but unfortunately this is full frame except for a little cropped off the right side.

Excellent composition, Christopher. I like the sepia treatment giving the 'old photo' feel.
