For mine, I would say You did well, and for what you got rid of, I would say $15 was cheap :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Good Morning Magicunicorn,

On my iPhone it looks great! Will have to check later on my 27" monitor and then really look at it. Looks very very nice for your self-taught photoshop work. Hopefully you will get much more than double the $15.

I say you did a great job. Use the $15.00 to buy yourself a bottle of wine. Since you went this far how about removing the orange cone at the rear leg? Not criticism just a suggestion. :thumbup:

Hi Magic. I think you've done a brilliant job. I can't see any joins so well done. Just a suggestion. Study some top notch horse and rider photos. My sister rides horses and any time I have taken photos of her she has been quite "picky" about the conformity of the horse. Apparently there are classic poses for each type of gait. I just think horses are beautiful so didn't realise that they could be photographed to look "right" or "wrong". I know it's difficult to catch that perfect shot so in the past I have taken maybe 50 or more shots to get the one to please my sis. Just another little suggestion. Try dropping a more interesting sky into the shot. That would be the icing on the cake for me. I look forward to seeing more of your "horsey images.

Thank you Rusty i hear what you are saying and thank you for your kind words. This photo was hand picked by the rider and i was asked to take out the background.. i also agree about the sky.

I have a few more shots on here

The web site is a good start. Check the spelling.

On the first page. Specilises and Gallary are wrong. Also the hot link from Gallery does not work.

On the second page Gallery is spelled wrong.

Hope this is helpful.

There’s still a bit of background fence you need to take of, but other than that, a nice job :thumbup:

You did a very good job Magic. Someone suggested taking out the bit at the bottom left, which is a good idea...otherwise excellent...I am self taught too and it takes a lot of practice and determination! :-) What I would suggest is to create a duplicate layer and go into "brightness and contrast" and play with it to bring out the clouds...they are there...just need to work with it a bit. Best of luck and keep up the good work!

Just a passing thought...not sure how you went about doing the cloning....what I do is make a duplicate layer, capture the main subject with the quick collection tool and then "invert" which now makes it so you will not accidentally go over top of the main subject...you can clone away to your hearts content and it won't touch the horse and rider. When working with the selection tool...you can go right down to 1 pixel where necessary to get the details... Hope this helps for future projects.
