Ride ?

Decided to try something a bit different today...street photography.
Took myself off to the Bailgate area of Lincoln,between the Castle & Cathedral,great place but very busy.

This guy does Horse-drawn carriage tours around the Castle & Cathedral,this was one occasion he & his horse weren't surrounded by people.He had just given his horse ( Ebony) a well earned drink...what they were both looking at I don't know but I like the fact they are both looking in the same direction.

The Gent infact is my next-door neighbour,Doug,who does this most weekends.
He didn't pose for me...neither did the horse ...just 'one of those moments'.

I have taken him a print of this & he loved it !

Tried a mono conversion too which I will load as a variant...I like both

The light was nothing to speak of,so I avoided the sky,instead you can see the Cathedral in the bg through the archway.

F5 manual mode
1/125th sec handheld
ISO 200
Pattern metering
F/L 28mm
+1EV
Raw file converted in Lightroom,bit of a crop for composition & finished in Photoshop.

Thanks for looking,constructive crit is most welcome.
