It's very pretty and I love the soft glow on the horse. But (isn't there always a but!?!) I think you went a little too far on darkening the surroundings. I would have preferred a little bit to peek through, just to give the horse a sense of grounding and placement. Still a great shot.
This has quite an appealing glow to it. In the main I like it very much. although it seems a bit sacrificed in the dark areas, mainly lower right where I ache for a little more separation. Fine shot!
Excellent shot. It almost looks surreal. I'm not a fan of how the light is just around the horse - I guess from dodge and burn? - and I would have liked a more gradual change from light to dark to make it look less processed, but still a fantastic photo. 8
In his later years, Mr. Ed decided to go walkabout. It was during this time that many a young mare claims to have "interacted" with this once bright star.
Beatiful. The border draws you right in on the horse. I would have liked to see he horse a little bright, but still lovely
There are some photographs I come across that are so great that the most unsophisticated choice of expression can ingeniously summarize it perfectly. For your image, I am in such a state of awe that I can only choose "wow."
Oh wait, look at that, I’ve said practically a paragraph!
Beautiful image, and very nicely processed. My only nitpick is that there seems to be some funky cloning issue above the mountain. Still, very nicely done.
