One of the horses that belong to my twin granddaughters, Beetle, a buckskin quarter horse, is getting a little elderly now - over 20. The high key conversion has eliminated a fair bit of pale summer grass background.
I don't mind the blown background at all - matter of fact, I kind of like it. I could use more detail on the horse on the far right, though. Beautiful animal and very nice high key portrait of him.
Beautiful horse. Not sure about the almost completely blown out background - the horse looks good on white, but it seems a bit much. Even parts of the horse are blown. Not sure ...
Beautiful portrait. Not sure about completely blowing out the ground, but I don't know what was there in the first place....on the whole, it's really lovely.
It's a beautiful portrait. I'm not sure I like the complete whiteness in the foreground as it seems less real knowing that there should be something there based on the other background elements. But it certainly emphasizes the subject well.
I've never tried to do a high key post process, but you seem to have done a really great job with this. My eye goes straight to the portrait. The contrast seems to be right on the money.
The high key processing has emphasized this adorable elder's eye - he looks so gentle - you did a very nice job of working with a blown out sky - I can only imagine how precious he is to your grand daughters and you have given them a precious keepsake. I love it when ppl post the gentle creatures who enhance our world - thank you.
