Need a favor....
By the way, everybody, Tracey won 1st place in a very stiff competition with this photograph. There is truly a remarkable story behind it, too... if she's willing to tell it.

Here's my try.
I can change the outdoor scene if you like
LOL...very nice Tinosa, but I think she would want it to be the way it really is. This girl is 11 yrs old, I'm not sure she'd appreciate all these artist takes. But I sure like it! Wish that was what was outside the barn for real. LOL
Gizzy, geez, your embarrassing me, please, don't stop! LOL...Kidding. I won cause it was a theme contest not cause of tech quality. But thanks for bragging on me!
A win is a win. Congrats!

Tracy-- my son used to do riding for therapy-- tell the story!
Here's another thought...since the other person is not identifiable, and is obviously looking into a stall, I wouldn't worry about it. Besides, it may actually be a friend of the person in the wheelchair.
I think it's wonderful when handicapped folks expand their horizons to the limits of their ability.
Now you have to tell the story, you have peeked our interest. All of you that helped with the editing, Great job! Makes me want to go take some pictures just to play with removing things.
I like Wolfman Bobs version, I would like to see the 4 bright lights turned off. Great picture....she will love it.
This is very nice....very good job
Thanks again everyone...as I said, I know technically it's not a great photo, but it really does evoke emotion IMO. I was just glad I had my camera with me.
That is Emma, who was born without legs, taking Black Jack a particularly cantankerous horse back to his stall, after she finished riding him and giving him a bath. He is kind of a nasty SOB, (and please people, I've grown up with horses and love em, some aren't warm and fuzzy)IMHO, except when she rides him. It' s like he knows to be careful with her. With her, he is warm and fuzzy.

That is a terrific story.
No they aren't all warm and fuzzy.. one the my daughter Julie "broke" was quite cantankerous I swear that horse would scowl when it saw certain people coming near it.

I would like to give this young lady this photo for the holidays. But I would like the person standing on the right side towards the end of the barn, gone. Also I wouldn't mind darkening the blown out (outside) area at the end of the barn. I thought maybe someone with PS might be able to help me out?
Thanks in advance!
You're a very nice person for doing that for her. I'm sure Santa will be very generous to you this year.
:)
I see that others have already helped.
