Snow Queen~Notes
I really like this one, I think the white around the edges turned out nice. Anyway, photoshop is remarkable! I love the new filters and how much bigger the brushes can be. Oh, and I love the mane and tail, I think I found my style

Hehe, it's no problem (: Thank you very much!!
I have to start off by saying that I love the whole atmosphere of this piece. It's simply gorgeous! You got the horse's positioning spot on, and the mane & tail is very flowing and pretty. c:
One thing I would suggest is making the eye a little more realistic- right now it looks a little unrealistic. Maybe leaving out a little turquoise would help. A natural horse's eyes are kinda dark, and not as vibrant (of course, unless it's a fantasy character, hehe) There are a lot of eye tutorials out there that would probably help. (Here are a few I like incase you want to check some out: [link] [link] [link] )
That eye position is harder than a lot, though, so don't get discouraged.
Another thing I would suggest is tweaking the shadow just a bit. It's not very noticeable in this image, but when a shadow is laying on grass, plants, etc, it isn't very "straight", if you know what I mean? It goes "up" and "down" with the grass, so from the side it looks more crooked. If you get a smudge brush and smudge up and down along the edges, it will blend with the background better.
Otherwise you did a fantastic job, thanks for asking me for critique. I'm honored!

Wow i never thought i would hear the im honored words comming from you, andthamm you. I had the eye a really dark brown, but i changed it only cause i wanted it to pop. For the most parr i have fairly relastic eyes. But thank you, many many many thanks!

The background works well with that horse. The mane and tail really blend and bring out the colors in the background as well as the horse. The eye really pops!
