ESTIMATE, owned by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, winner of the Ascot Gold Cup 2013, photographed in foal in September 2015, work completed February 2016. Ripley was approached by John Warren, the bloodstock and racing advisor to Her Majesty the Queen to create an accurate historical portrait of the mare which could serve as a reference for years to come. The picture which measures 6x4.5ft is being installed at Sandringham House. It is composed from seventeen separate images (50mp 16bit), blending panoramic imagery with shifts of focus in order to eliminate any depth of field artefacts normally associated with traditional photography. Ripley presented the work personally to Her Majesty at a private function in May 2016
