Description Pecos. Of all the photos I took of him yesterday, this is my favorite.

This photo took Reserve Champion at the Fayette County Fair in September 2006.

This photo was drawn by ~Moosepickles - [link]

This photo was drawn by Ashton Jaksa for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo - [link] - her drawing was chosen to make the Auction. Only 50 pieces (out of THOUSANDS) are chosen, so this is a BIG honor.

EDIT: I "healed" out the scrapes on his face.

I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS PHOTO TO BE USED IN MANIPULATIONS. Using it as a reference is still okay, just please note me with your finished piece so I can see.

... If I'm not mistaken, this was a winner in the Houston Livestock Show, right? I recognize it; I entered for the first time this year and got one of the Special Merits.

yes it was, as is stated in my description. I've even got a link to a photo of Ashton's drawing up there.

This is an awesome perspective. Can I use it in a photo manip? I'll make sure the finished picture has 'horse picture from [link] ' or whatever else you want me to put so people know you took that photo.

I'm sorry, but no, I will not allow this photo to be used in a manipulation, largely because it was used as a Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo reference and the finished piece went on to the auction, which is a great honor and the HLSR Commission has certain rules.

Lovely Pecos...how old is he?
plus I don't know why I try so much but every think of making a story even fiction upon him and other equines ??

octagonalstar In reply to Wolfsstare5 [2006-09-27 03:50:19 +0000 UTC]

He was born on August 7, 2005, so he's almost 14 months old.

And actually, yes - I'm in a creative writing class and we have to write 30 pages. I haven't started yet (I really should...), but Pecos is going to be the inspiration for the story.

i love this picture. i have no clue why though. he has such natural beauty in him.. i expecuially like how his abck and the horses behind him are blurry. it makes the eye stand out more.

i wouldnt mind trying to draw this if i had your permission.

Absolutely - any of my photos may be drawn, provided I get a link to the finished product and a link is provided back to the original photo.
