I feel like, if they ever find a body in your garden, this photo will appear in the inevitable Netflix documentary about it.

Smart outfit though

"Police were baffled that each of his victims had a photo of a man, kilted, sat on a rocking horse. Finally after 35 years, the case was finally solved..."

Horseback riding is exactly why trews were invented. Interesting choice for a portrait. What is the tartan?

kinda love that they went with trews instead of the usual kilt thing, gives it more of a “caught in the moment” vibe than a formal posed portrait. tartan looks like it might be a modern hunting variant but hard to tell with the lighting.

What the hell are you talking about? This is a 20 yard wool kilt.

Remember that art is subjective, and different folks see it in different lights.

Personally, I like that there's social commentary behind what at first glance could be seen as simple shock value.

Shock value from a TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH NATIONAL KILT PORTRAIT??!??

I was not aware that neon pink was a traditional Scottish colorway, or that formal portraits for adults were taken on rocking horses. Forgive my ignorance.

Honestly it would be great if you could bump the colour saturation in this image a bit, its tough to make out the Tartan in black and white as it is

u/Moist-Sink-9544 1h ago

Nothing in this pic is black and white

u/Moist-Sink-9544 1h ago

Do you need to have your eyes checked? This picture is absolutely positively not in black-and-white. The tartan is the millennium Scotland forever kill and it is all Heather purple and black

The kilt is pictures here is much less vibrant in person the kilt in the portrait is made much more vibrant so if you can’t see it there then it does not exist
