Thank you Alicia and Mike!

- Riding crops are currently leaning in from viewer's right to direct the eye toward the subject. When I try placing them on the other side, they block the flow to the background. I thought he could be holding one, you know, in between his legs and closer to his body. I currently have him holding Gatorade, which, I believe, adds to the "after-the-game" feeling.

- Mike, you are so funny! Your suggestion to crop tighter on right has met with approval from everyone but you! Polo cognoscienti will know exactly what this is from his leg protectors, tight white pants, and helmet. The Greenwich crowd (of Conyers Farm) will recognize the characteristic striped tent, and the "scene" suggested within in about a nanosecond!

I'm still undecided about the cropping. The bigger version has a nice kind of wave pattern, and gives me room to tell a story. The cropped version makes the subject more important.

Oh, to be born a Libra! It is a real balancing act. Your comments help to tip the scales.
Thank you so much!
