Taken In Nauvoo Illinois I thought these bronze riders looked good against the fading sun.

Until I read your narrative, I thought they were real Paul. They make fantastic silhouettes against one of your trademark sunset backgrounds.

Paul - Looks like the Smith brothers have a long night of riding ahead of them. Nicely done with the sunset glow behind the statue. Thad

I too thought they were real at first...either way, there is something very appealing and relaxing about the idea of riding a horse at dusk...great shot.

This is a great shot, but there is something unnatural about it. They don't have cowboy hats!! LOL.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

Heck, they don't even look like statues at all. Just two cowboys out for evening ride having a chat. It's a great shot!

Great silhouette shot, Paul. Very nicely captured and presented. I like the pale colours of the sky.

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick. Henri Cartier-Bresson

Amazing, I really like this one! And I think the only thing that gives this image away that it's not real is the tree in the left corner. Wonderful capture..
