It doesn't look like you really need a background. When you got grass that's so small and fine it looks great! Although the last picture looks a bit like it drowning, but they are very nice models! I'm so jealous! Look forward to seeing you enter shows.

Welcome. =] Some of your tack needs to be fitted better, but it looks pretty good so far. ^^

hey guys thanks for the suggestions! =D i must admit i didnt spend alot of time with the tack fitting, oops , i took so many photo's that day i was practically over it by the end. that will teach me for going over board, i might have to redo some later, but thanks heaps and i really am looking forward to entering some shows. oh and kyree, i agree with what you said the grass is definately too over powering in that last photo. ^^

hehe ill have to get cracking then! i got some pics developed the other day.. go harvey normans half price print sale haha. but was disapointed because some of the horses ear tips were cut off.. and some riders hats because of the stupid resizing thing they have. ill have too get some redone and actually spend the time to edit .. and hope for the best in the mail shows for the time being! lol.

you should try to put some sort of 'fence' in the background, so that the 'paddock' doesnt look too big. ive only got classics and SMs so far, but i hope to save up and get myself a flash model one of these days........ see ya round!

I love the traditional sized models, but I only own one and I find it so hard to keep him in the photo. Or at least he's just really big. Maybe it's just the model I'm not sure. It helps if you've got a big space to take pics like you do. OR just really good grass like that!

haha yes i am trying to either make a fence or get hold of one from somewhere.. i think ill make one soon, i have a friend who is getting some made, ill see if i can get some ideas about how to make it from that im in the riverina part of nsw... 5 hours inland from sydney to make it easier hehe. oh and yes Flash is my second favourite mold! i love him to death, i got him from my friend for christmas along with my dressage rider doll. i really want to get 'riderless' but he is soo expensive now.. and hard to get. my fav mold is lonesome glory.. i want to try and collect the whole range.. or the less expensive ones anyway. kyree; haha im suprised at how my grass turned out in those pics.. i think it was a fluke.. dad must have mown it that day! lol

I'm with you on the Flash, I think he is very cute! Riderless is nice, I have one called Buzz Lightyear, piccy below: I like the lonesome glory, I have the SR red bay, the wapasha chestnut pinto (now minus his blue indian markings!!! lol, a couple customs. What you could do for your pics is put some sand down and a fence between the sand and the grass to make it look more like an arena. Or just get a nice solid piece of balsa or similar and paint it white, blue tak some cut out pics of horse advertising on it... Just a couple ideas for inexpensive setups. You do have lovely clear pics! Well done....

Welcome! You have some lovely pics, nice and clear and from good angles I especially like the pic of Strapless, she looks so real Yes, I agree with CPS, using sand and an arena wall makes a great (and cheap!) setup ;D
