This is a truly gorgeous shot, what a beautiful moment you've captured, Patricia! Wish I could be there...! #48445

Patricia Marroquin July 26, 2003

Hi, Jean! Thank you so much! Yes, it was so neat to spot this scene as we drove to our hotel. My husband pointed it out first and it was one time that he didn't mind stopping at all. :-) #150899

Kathleen Clemons July 26, 2003

So glad you stopped, Patricia! This is wonderful!! #150959

Barbara K. Breitsameter July 26, 2003

What a capture Patricia!!! This one to be very proud of. I hope to see this one go far. #150964

Patricia Marroquin July 26, 2003

Thank you very much, Kathleen and Barbara. :-)

Barbara, you're right, I am very proud of this one. But many times the photos I'm most proud of aren't recognized. That's OK, though. :-) #150976

Carolyn M. Fletcher level-classic July 26, 2003

You have done it with this one!! Great job and nice BuZZ!!!!!! #151006

Leanne M.E. Boyd July 26, 2003

Great shot, Patricia!!! I'm glad you stopped as well. #151031

Dolores Neilson July 26, 2003

This is beautiful Patricia!! I love the carefree and wildness of this! I expect to see it again! woo hooo! #151064

Mary-Ella Bowles July 26, 2003

I love the feeling of wide open space you captured in this photo, and the feeling of tranquility...

Lovely, Patricia - a real keeper! #151098

Susana Matos July 26, 2003

This is absolutely gorgeous and it captures so well the atmosphere! GORGEOUS, cheers from Portugal, Su #151101

Murry Grigsby July 26, 2003

Nice job, Patricia. You're a wise woman to take the advice of your husband :0) Great crop and overall design. I think we'll see this one in the finals!! #151179

Patricia Marroquin July 26, 2003

Thanks so much, Carolyn, Leanne, Dolores, Mary-Ella, Su and Murry! I appreciate you taking time to comment. :-) ... Murry, yes, I was wise. When my husband is the one to say "Stop, you've gotta photograph this!" who am I to argue? I'm more than happy to oblige and start shooting. LOL! #151200

Darren K. Fisher July 26, 2003

Outstanding composition and so very well composed. I really like this along with the PS effect you have used. #151209

RICKY RIDDLE July 27, 2003

Outstanding Photo. #151321

Patricia Marroquin July 27, 2003

Thank you, Darren and Rick! It was kind of appropriate that after posting this photo, we went to see the movie "Seabiscuit" (about the racehorse). Excellent movie, I recommend it highly! :-) #151380

Piper Lehman July 27, 2003

Really nice one, Patricia. I like the lines of the different shades of grasses. P.S. I can't keep up with your ongoing travels! Do you ever go to work anymore??? =) I just got back from Costa Rica - should have some so-so snapshots up sometime soon. #151394

Murry Grigsby July 27, 2003

And I thought Seabiscuits were those little crackers they serve in Maine with the chowder :0) #151396

Debbie S. July 27, 2003

WOW!!! Stunning image Patricia!!! I love the contrast of the softness of the grasses and the clarity of the horses and figures...just beautiful...like they're floating...definitely a winner in my book! ;>) #151405

Patricia Marroquin July 27, 2003

Murry, I now have a serious craving for some chow-DAH. :-)

Piper, thanks! The various shades of grasses, as well as the horses, were what attracted me to the scene. ... And I'm done with vacations for a while -- none planned in the foreseeable future. Now, I have a hard time believing you've got so-so Costa Rica pics. Bring 'em on! Can't wait to see them.

Debbie, thanks so much! Hadn't thought about the "floating" aspect, but I can see that now. I think the BuZZ simplifier filter enhanced that. :-) #151454

Murry Grigsby August 14, 2003

Patricia Marroquin August 14, 2003

What a way to end my long, busy workweek! Thank you, one and all -- Murry, Rick, Darren, Dolores, Joy, Debbie, Colette and Evy!

Murry, it does pay to buzz! And speaking of paying, even though I still had more free tries with the BuZZ simplifier filter, I went ahead last weekend and bought it online. It's definitely worth the $30! :-)

Thanks once again everyone! :-) #166782
