I like your scene Brax, great colors and the composition of the set up really draws me in. The field is lovely!

There's a story behind that... I shot this scene and submitted it a week ago, and noticed a few days after that I had forgotten to paint the teeth on one horse! I decided I should 'do it right' and as much as I hate the photography process I finished the horse and redid the scene. I wondered if anyone would even notice. There's some things better, some things worse in the second attempt.

When Overlord confirmed receipt of the second shot, he mentioned most people wouldnt bother with horse teeth anyway. I think they're easier than human teeth ;)

This unit might not have ever gotten finished, it's all thanks to the LPL. As some of you may know I did the first six last year, and I didn't like the lances... A little too short, and too thick. I planned on pulling them out and giving them new lances when I finished the rest of the troop, and kept putting it off.

When I was pulling out the old lances a couple weeks ago I had one that was stuck, I was ferociously pulling it with some pliers when it came free and pierced my leg through my denim jeans... sharp little devils  :o

yeah, right! You blew it completely! In the lower picture one of the horses (the one to the right) is grinning right into the camera!  :D
I BET that's the one with the new teeth, eh?

I think it was the second from the left on the bottom pic, the one that looks like it's smiling  :)

Gorgeous work on the lancers Matt. And the Zulus actually. Nice skin tone  :)
Braxandur - you are unlucky to have come up against the reigning champ on top form. Your rebs are really well done...
