Hot Chips and Silver Peru
This was an interesting combination. I did another version of it with just a head shot of both animals but it didn't work out. I think the fact that the contrast of the low neck of the quarter horse and the erect neck of the llama thru the portrait out of balance. I changed them to full subjects and it seemed to help with balance issue. This is one of those portraits that just doesn't seem to photograph well. I would say all portraits look better in person, but this really seems to be particularly true with this one. It was so much fun working on this portrait.
