I struggled with the one, both with finding the images and putting them together. I tried four other horses before using the two I did, and it took forever to find a background that would work. I found plenty of floors that I liked, but none were big enough and whenever I tried to make them bigger they wound up looking really messed up. I ended up making my own floor. I think it turned out pretty good.

Like always, I struggled with the feet. Both horses had two feet each that were wither too blurry or covered with dirt, so I copied and pasted one of their better feet onto the bad ones. :D The manes and tails were difficult this time, too. I'm not too fond with how the black horse's turned out, but I love the palomino's. I smudged most of it, and drew in the rest to make it look thicker.

I also had trouble getting the balloons to blend in with the rest of the image. They were too bright and looked fake. I played around with the saturation. And the streamers... umm, ya. I don't really like how they turned out, but it looks better with them there. :P

Overall, I'm pretty proud of this one. :nod:

this is great. here are the only little flaws i found:
1, i can tell where you put the back hoof on the front of the black. also on the palominos (but you have to look hard)
2, the tail of the black is a little stiff.
3, and yes, the balloons are a wee bit to bright.

over all, i love this. i would give it 4/5 stars, and i think the part i love the most is the reflections on the floor. they are perfect! and the floor looks great btw. so..........GREAT JOB!!! and i can't wait to see your next project ;)

:hug:

Lovely work as well.. you did a great job with the balloons even if they are a touch too bright. They look very well blended though and so do the horses. I love the imagination! :heart:

YA I think the black horses tail is a little stiff othere than that aaaaaamazinggggg
:icontwiil:
Aww, I love the reflections of the horses on the floor! Besides what everyone else has said, the only thing that sticks out to me is the black horse's tail should 'flow' with the wind and the action of the horse instead of just hanging straight out like that.
