This is an absolutely beautiful picture! You did an amazing job with the markings, and the hair is beautiful (but that's normal, for your manipulations e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)"/>) The background blurring is flawless, as is the recoloring of both the horse and the background. You did an amazing job with the stock choices, and it shows; both of those pictures would be mildly difficult to place, but you managed to find the perfect two and put them together. The overall feel of the piece is pretty and soft, with dazzling lighting, as many of your pieces are. (That's a good thing!)

OK so, I guess since this is a critique, I should point out areas you could improve.

Mane▬Particularly around the forelock area, the strands just look too thick, and they look unnatural, almost amateurish. (If it weren't for the colors, which you executed really well.) The farther-back portion of the mane, however, looks great, except the base of the hair could perhaps use a bit more blending into the horse's neck. I smell dodge/burn tool. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="19" alt="" title="La la la la"/>

Cutting▬The cutting in this piece is.... Decent. It follows the shape of the body, but if you actually look at the horse/backdrop boundaries you can easily tell this was done with some sort of lasso tool, using long lines; it doesn't look carefully done, and there are several jagged edges, especially around the horse's rear and the base of the front right leg.

Tail▬This one isn't too bad, I just noticed that towards the end of the tail, the strands are too thick (exactly how I described the forelock area of the mane) and just look... unnatural. I'm really noticing it where the tail is covering the splotch of white.

Lighting▬The lighting effects are beautiful, but I couldn't help but notice the light on the horse is coming slightly from the wrong direction. The background produces a light coming from just above the horizon, low in the sky (so it's around sunrise/sunset), but the lighting on the horse makes it look as if the light is coming from straight up above, high in the sky. Again, the actual way the lighting was done was astounding, it just.... Is coming from the wrong direction.

Not much else other than that. This piece is really amazing, and I have no doubt I would fail utterly at trying to do something this epic. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="19" alt="" title="La la la la"/>

Mane, Tail and feathers - Simply Flawless (I was fan girling at it ouo)
Markings - at first i couldn't even tell this was changed until i viewed the stock
Lighting -Fits the manipulation and its amazing e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart"/>
Cutting out - on the bum and back of the pony you can sorta see the old background and the bum is a tad bit square.
Overall- I think this is a wonderful manipulation! The markings are perfect and suit the horse. The hooves look perfect!In my Inbox i thought this was a real photo.And that lighting i wanna marry it a.deviantart.net/avatars/i/n/i… " alt=" " title="Inloveplz"/>.Keep Up The Good Work!

I really like the colors in the photo!!!
They are truly AMAZING.
I do agree with a lot that had to say in his/her critique.
One thing that he/she did not mention that I saw, however, was that the tail does not seem long enough. I honestly did not see any other thing until I looked closer after reading the critique. Just the tail was the only thing I caught.
Again, wonderful photo. Definitely better than what I could do with my imagination.

thanks!

lol yah, her critique brought out a lot of things for me see, I originally prepped the horse for a different background (lighting etc.) so when I decided to switch backgrounds, I forgot to change the lighting again

nawh, I like my cute little tail

ForeverYoursMarine In reply to peachesrox [2012-05-17 03:32:11 +0000 UTC]

Ah, yeah I've done that before.

And I understand, it just looked odd because it looks like it is blended into the black of the horse. But maybe it is also my computer.
