This piece, Dietro, I believe is quite stunning, serene, and a lovely piece of work. Yet, I do have some comments more than just how awe-inspiring your work is.
The overall lighting on the horse compared with the background flows yet isn't perfect. For this photomanipulation, it works. Your smudging is very detailed and brings the horse out of the scene to a life-like quality. It doesn't distract from the background, but also gives the horse a nicely groomed coat (which may or may not have been the intent). The front hooves however, seem to be cut off. In that shallow of water, I believe you would be able to see part of the hooves or at least more of a ripple in the water. Also, a shadow - even a light shadow, is missing and detracts from the overall realism of the photo. All the little things start to add up and take away from viewing.
Yet, your smudging, cutting, and eye is masterful. The horse steps out from the left side to a gorgeous view with a hint of dark ominous clouds in the top left corner. Dietro is at peace in this part, but the viewer wonders for how long.
Simple, yet elegant. There is so much more I could say, but I will say this: wonderful job.

Also wanna know what happened to crediting the stock? Bet the owners would like seeing their uses without any credits.
