Hi Newbie! Welcome! Don't be scared! I've been posting degenerate B&W images for weeks and nobody's bitten me. They hvave given me helpful advice. Anyway, how does anyone improve, except by going to the masters and saying 'I'm rubbish at this! Fix me!' That's my strategy anyway. :) That's a lovely imagethe hair is better than lots I've seen, and the colours are wonderful. The body positioning is very nice as well. You have an eye for it! I just wish I could see the horse's head... whenever I see images of people on horses, it seems that they are not alone. But she looks to be alone, because I cannot see the horse's face.
