Pony Triptych final layout

After a lot of trying different combinations I've finally settled on the one.

Vertical emphasis

Grazing With Light

I chose the vertical format for the triptych, as first suggested by Kitty (who, by coincidence, was also one of the three prize winners for August). The nature of each shot is vertical, both by orientation and composition. When the triptych is laid out vertically, it takes on a very commanding presence, as I'm sure you'll agree.

I've chosen a balanced sequence that goes for a top-to-bottom flow and a title which is both observational and describes the sculpting approach I used—a pun always helps :) 

I've managed to avoid the question of naming the individual images while I've been concentrating on the triptych and sorting out the August prize draw but I'll need to return to that next. But first I have to work out and post some new rules for the September draw, ones which mean I don't lose a whole day actually making the draw, like I did this time!

comments / critique / feedback always welcome :)

Even though I am primarily a painter who uses collage and assemblage, I don't like much color and one of my favorite artworks outside my medium is black and white photography and I like yours very much.

@Layers: ...and I like your unique approach to collage. I find that seeing through other folk's creative expression helps lift veils from my eyes and your work certainly does that.

@Annie -thanks for the follow, hope to see you around here more :)

@Miss Red: glad u liked the ponies - good luck at college :)
