I love this! It reminds me of a spaghetti western movie scene. Your processing works great and there really is a feeling that something dramatic is about to happen.
I'm very curious about this scene. Did you set this up or did you attend some event and just happen to get this? From the rest of your work, I know you do set up symbolic scenes. Please tell us more about this!

Well, all western series were directed and nothing instantaneously.
Living in an urban territory it's quite hard to make this kind of photographs, without costumes, horses and landscape.
I had the idea few years ago but I was to far from this project. Now together with some friends I could do it.
Being a western fan and collector I used a part of my costumes, boots, hats, etc... and a good friend invited me to his grandfather home where he has horses.
It was a nice experience, in 2009 to wear a cowboy costume and ride a horse in a very old forgotten village.
In the project we were 7 men, 4 of us friends and 3 villagers that helped us with the route and the horses.
I'm glad you like it.
Thank you all for your visit and comment.
