The theme music was ‘Recuerdos de la Alhambra’ played on spanish guitar. I loved this piece and learned to play the guitar and this music as a teenager. Anyway, the opening shot was of a horse and plough (or at least that’s how I remember it) and this shot reminds me of that…
Interesting shot, Niall,
I’m afraid I actually remember the tractor-pulled version of the reaper and binder in operation in my younger days!
The scene is a nostalgia-arousing one. I think it would have been better to keep both the horses and the oats (sorry, Deebo – I’m fairly sure it’s oats!) in focus but the composition and position are very good.
I’m not sure about the colours – at least on my monitor the oats has a pink hue. I think it would be better leaning towards a golden colour.
Just a few thoughts, Niall.
BTW, any harm to ask where it was taken?
