Mind Over Mutter

It is something of a challenge to take a good seated portrait of a horse and rider, because of the distance between the horse's nose and that of the rider. In this shot I opted to keep the girl in focus and let the focus on the horse be a bit softer. If I were preparing this as a serious portrait, I would take the power lines out of the background and clone over the light to get rid of the distractions.

Anybody else think this kid looks a little like Renee Zellwegger in Cold Mountain?
