Way to emasculate a cowboy's ruggedness ... frame him under a pretty flower tree. j/k
I like it. Good job also in getting the ages of the Mustangs. Not many would think to do that.
I thought of the framing as a colorful, contrasting juxtaposition. I hadn't thought of the machismo factor. I can't imagine cowboys having manhood issues though. :-)
Although it's not in the AP Stylebook, I've always gotten the name, age and breed of domestic animals.
"Cow No. 1284" doesn't add much to a cutline, but "Bessie, a 4-year-old black angus," does.
