Description Well, I was working on quite a complicated manip and it was going very badly, so I decided I needed a break. I decided to try something nice and simple, as a sort of breather I suppose... Anyway, I'm actually very pleased with the way this one came out! It's only my 3rd or 4th time officially manipulating backgrounds, so I think I did okay with that...

Anyway, enough babble. I'd love to hear ay opinions or critiques that you have for me!

Thanks so much to the stock providers:

I'm going to agree with CyberTouch.

The foreground is bugging me as the flowers aren't nearly as bright as the horse.

I would maybe add a faint outline of a shadow in the grass for the horse, since it has a shadow, and I can't see one in there but brighten up the rest of the foreground by messing around with lighting.

Hm, I cannot see the eyes very well, but I think that the pupil is like... a dot.
And horse's pupils are oval-ish edging on a rectangle. So, just keep that in mind.
Otherwise, amazing job!

Thanks Abba.

Gosh... I just realised now that I forgot the shadow. *facepalm* Why, oh why am I such a fool? Lol!

The eyes look better at full size, I did try to get the rectangle shape... It didn't come out as well as I'd planned though.

Thanks for the critique!

Lol! Have you seen MY manes and tails? *joins coughing*

For now I shall blame my suckiness on my lack of a tablet. When I get a tablet I'll need to find a new excuse... *starts thinking*

Either that, or I really will have to try work on my many, many, MANY weak points. Lol!

CyberTouch [2010-03-03 12:27:44 +0000 UTC]

I can't get off the feeling that the horison is too close. So the sky dome feels like an "air bubble" of some sort... well, probably it's just an effect due to darkness on the edges of the image. The field of flowes seems dark, like it is not illuminated by light source that illuminates the horse.

Still, while I might not like the foreground, the backgroud is awesome.
Overall it looks like a microplanet (like, asteroid?) which is about to hit one of those planets on the background. From afar, it looks nice.

Thank you! I see your point now... *stares* I haven't quite got to the point of fixing background lighting yet, so I think that will be the next thing I start working on.

Thanks so much for your critique! It's very helpful!
