Some days it is just nice to do something fun, without a lot of work. Still, no one wants to waste time, and being happy with the results is important. Feel free to play with this and post your own versions..

This has more of a modified-poster look to it. There was some textures thrown in, and the using of PSE tools. I have had photos put on canvas and included the frame in the printing. So when hung, the photo/artistic version has the frame printed with it. The only problem is that the printer that is used must be skilled and accurate. And, there has to be enough extra "frame" to do the wrap. This type of piece is meant to be viewed and enjoyed, at a distance. And, I know that it doesn't appeal to everyone. But, would like to know what you think about having the frame printed on the canvas? Or, is it that important to have canvas pieces with frames of any kind?

Black Jubilation

I love the stylized, dramatic, artsy feel to this! I reduced the zoom on my browser so I could view "at a distance." The piece becomes all about the strength and beauty of the horse, in a dynamic position. So cool!

I have zero knowledge of canvas printing, so can't help with questions on framing, but it sure seems like a textured surface would enhance the mood of this piece.

Inspiring work, Marilyn!

Linda, thanks for the comments. Glad you viewed at a distance where you can better enjoy the curves and stance. That is one thing I appreciate about photographing horses, they have a lot of artistic curves, movement, and numerous natural textures to work with.

Your experience and artistic eye are teaching many things to those of us who aren't around horses very often!

Thanks, Linda. I didn't find them easy to photograph, in the beginning. My perspective was off a lot of the time and I wasn't used to moving targets that run around and change directions so fast. I got a lot of throw-ways. :-P

Thanks for your version. You did add a lot of nice texture..

The photo maybe cropped or colors changed, add something new to it, anything goes with this one.

There would be nothing better than an elegant wood frame to go on this canvas. :thumbup:

Thank you. I wondered what it would be like if you kept the texture but softened it down a bit. I softened the colours too. My conclusion is that there's not a lot wrong with the original. Anyway, here's an alternative for comparison.

Thanks for giving us such an imaginative image to play with, TheeGambler. :thumbup:
As the title is Black Jubilation I had to go for B&W with a touch of green here and there.

You know, R.G., what you did does change it quite a bit. I like soft colors and smoothness. It sure worked well with this one! Thanks!

You know what, Shakey, this piece looks good in B & W. I wouldn't have thought it would. I think it is a little more dramatic than color. Thanks!!
