Spent some time on a friend's cattle ranch recently and snagged this portrait of Darnelle.

Leica M240 with 35mmm Summicron v3.

His horse got in the mood also!
Great capture. Would like to see more of his chaps and the horses's legs but that is me!

I like the pose very much and the background that helps tell the story. Agree with Dan that I would not cutoff the legs in this case, especially with the horse being part of the portrait. I like to see either an above the belt line portrait, or the entire person. In this case, I bet his chaps and boots might be interesting to add.

Absolutely my framing was a bit high, I've been shooting a rangefinder for about a year but I still occasionally struggle with focusing and then not reframing perfectly.

As this was a snapshot taken in a moment and not a professional photo shoot it is what it is. I was on this location shooting a documentary so work came first, play came second. Thanks for the feedback!

I did have one shot that was framed slightly better, still a bit high though.

This is a very nice portrait, and the second crop is an improvement.
