For Old Ironsights, re: "My pair to draw to" post
Nice photography too!--------------6[/quote]
Even better Photochopping... [/quote]
OI - If you mean the photo in the post "My pair to draw to" has been photoshopped you flatter me, so thank you. However, you would be extending me way too much credit. Probably could not learn how to do photoshop if someone tried to teach me. Heck, at 71, I'm so "tech" dumb I just learned the day that was posted how to insert pictures in these posts. If you were accusing me of duplicity by posting a photoshopped picture, then you might consider if an apology is due.
After looking and looking at the pic in the post I can see why folks might have thought it was manipulated somehow, as the saddle does appear to be floating. Is that the reason for your comment? Although, as you seemingly are a bright and aware individual I'm surprised you didn't see that it is not, in fact, floating. If you look down from the left stirrup you will note a grey, knobby mid-portion of the 8" cedar post the saddle is perched upon. I will admit is was a very dumb and precarious location for the set-up. Truth be told, the saddle began tilting and I had to grab it to keep the whole thing from tumbling off the post just after the picture was taken. Nearly a "train wreck", it was a really stupid place to set it up.
Anyhow, as I am proud of a newly acquired posting skill just thought I would address your post regarding the photoshopping comment. Now if I can just continue to remember the process of posting pictures here I will have really accomplished something. That's for dang sure. - John

Never a 'dis (thus the smiley), only a compliment on assumed skill (I thought it was a well done layering job). The Floating" thing was what caught my eye, but your explanation is appreciated. SInce I have no depth perception anyway, things like that get even more confusing to my messed-up eyes.GoatGuy wrote:...After looking and looking at the pic in the post I can see why folks might have thought it was manipulated somehow, as the saddle does appear to be floating.

And here I thought, for whatever reason, you just saddled the donkey backwards.

OK, got it. However, I did spit on my keyboard trying to make the sound.
